Memoirs of a Sinner (Polish: Osobisty pamiętnik grzesznika przez niego samego spisany) is a 1986 Polish film directed by Wojciech Has, starring Piotr Bajor. The film is an adaptation of James Hogg's The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner (1824) and tells the tale of the protagonist Robert and his doppelganger.

Premise

[edit]

Robert (Piotr Bajor) is exhumed from the grave by a gang of grave robbers and is forced to recount his life story - a struggle between good and evil, embodied in his doppelganger whom he eventually kills.[1]

Cast

[edit]

Production

[edit]

The film was filmed in the village of Klęk in the Polish province of Łódź.[2]

Release

[edit]

The film was released on 20 October 1986.[3] Jerzy Maksymiuk's score won the award for Best Score at the 1986 Polish Film Festival.

Comparison with the book

[edit]

Has maintains the strangeness central to the novel, although he tends to focus on the creation of unease, intrigue and beautiful images rather than Hogg's satire on Calvinist predestination.[4]
