Baza ludzi umarlych (The Depot of the Dead) DVD 1958 NTSC POLSKI POLISH

In the rugged mountain gorges of southeastern Poland, a group of outcasts and desperadoes drive old, dilapidated trucks loaded with timber down the winding, wintry roads, with death awaiting them around every twist and turn. The sudden appearance of a new boss —and his beautiful wife—becomes a deadly catalyst for violence in this dark, brutally realistic film. THE DEPOT OF THE DEAD is based on a short story by Polish cult writer Marek Hlasko, who died tragically at age 35. Veteran actors Tadeusz Lomnicki (Ashes and Diamonds), Emil Karewicz (Eroica; Canal) and Leon Niemczyck (Man on the Tracks; Vabank; Calls Controlled) offer gritty portrayals of wretched men in a desperate situation.
