ANDRZEJ WAJDA'S WAR TRILOGY HOME VISION, THREE CASSETTES, $24.95 EACH

What a long, strange trip this honorary Oscar took when Jane Fonda handed it to Polish director Andrzej Wajda at this year's Academy Awards.

The Polish delegation comprised the Culture Minister, Johanna Wnuk-Nazarowa, the Deputy Minister in charge of Cinema, Tadeusz Scibor-Rylski, ten members of the Polish parliament representing all the political parties, and a large number of Polish film directors, amongst whom Andrzej Wajda, Krzysztof Zanussi and Andzej Zulawski.
