Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the contemporary cinematic context of Melchior Wańkowicz’s works by offering a comparative analysis of his books on the battle of Monte Cassino and the 2024 narrative film entitled Czerwone maki (Red Poppies). Investigating the free adaptation of the writer’s prose into a movie, the article poses questions whether and to what extent the movie draws from artistic attributes of Wańkowicz’s writing.
