Summary/Abstract: Monika Kwaśniewska aims to show the particular status of homoerotic subjects in Andrzej Wajda's films created from 1968 until the late seventies. Referring to the theories of Samuel Weber and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, she analyses the homosexual motifs present in Pilate and Others, made in West Germany. Then, recalling the functioning of the figure of Jesus in counterculture and Wajda's unrealised project of filming Grotowski's Apocalypsis cum figuris, she argues that homosexualism and the accompanying sentimentalism acted as a figure of civil disobedience in Wajda's films of that time.
