Czar długich ujęć
The Charm of Long Shots

Summary/Abstract: The author asks the question of whether there is a theory of long shots? He then presents elements of such theory present in the writings of André Bazin, Gilles Deleuze and other authors. Then he discusses selected shots from the films of, amongst others, Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, Andrei Tarkovsky, Miklós Jancsó, Theo Angelopoulos or Chantal Akerman. He reserves a special place among these for Mikhail Kalatozov’s opening sequence of „I am Cuba” (1964).
