'Write and Fight' is a 1985 Polish film directed by Wojciech Jerzy Has, starring Wojciech Wysocki, Zdzislaw Wardejnc and Jan Peszek.

Plot



Set during the First World War, Raphael (Wojciech Wysocki), is a young journalist with literary ambitions who is arrested and put in prison for publishing an anti-clerical magazine called "The Devil". There he is given a cell with a famous safecracker (Zdzislaw Wardejn) and Sixtus (Jan Peszek), a taciturn former monk charged with murder. The writer forms the idea for a novel based on the stories his cellmates share, however when he contracts typhoid fever it becomes hard for him to distinguish what is real and what is imaginary.New York Times - [https://web.archive.org/web/20140418100254/http://www.nytimes.com/movies/movie/118633/Pismak/overview Movies | Pismak][http://www.filmpolski.pl/fp/index.php?film=121189 Pismak] - FilmPolski.pl
