Róża (Rose) is a 2011 Polish film directed by Wojciech Smarzowski. It depicts the love story of a Masurian woman and a soldier of the Armia Krajowa in postwar Masuria.In summer 1945 Tadeusz Mazur, a former soldier and veteran of Warsaw Uprising, moves to Masuria, a region in former German East Prussia, which became part of Poland as a result of the Potsdam Agreement after World War II. He's searching for Róża Kwiatkowska, a widow of a German Wehrmacht soldier whose death Tadeusz had witnessed, to hand over her husband’s possessions. Róża reluctantly invites Tadeusz to stay at her farm to protect her against marauders and the brutal rapes she had previously experienced during the Soviet East Prussian Offensive and in the lawless atmosphere of postwar Masuria. From this partnership of purpose, slowly respect and love arises - a relationship frowned upon and attracting the unwelcome attention of the new Polish nationalists as well as the Soviet NKVD and Polish Bureau of Security. | |

Rose / int_23ff95fb | comment |
Brutal Honesty: Liliwa, the doctor, very bluntly informs Tadeusz that Róża will die and Jadwiga will get deported - this is an attempt to convince his friend to flee before the Bureau of Security gets him. It doesn't work, but Tadeusz also doesn't mind being chewed out, has been fully aware of these things all the while, and he finds Liliwa's concern touching. | |

Foregone Conclusion: The Masurians will get eventually deported as "Germans". Then again, considering that Poland was entering the Stalinist period, maybe they were better off leaving. On meta-level, Smarzowski's, the director, doesn't do Happy Endings. | |

Forced to Watch: Tadeusz watches his wife being raped and murdered. Not only he's too weak from his wounds to do anything about it, but has to pretend he's dead already. Jadwiga more than once has to watch, or at least listen, to her mother being raped and must always pretend she's not even there, hiding from the rapists on Róża's insistance. | |

Take a Third Option: Defied. During small talk, Kazik says the options are either deportation of Masurians or not settling Mazury with Poles. When Tadeusz suggest taking a third option and simply live together, the UB officer laughs in his face for being such naive idealist, rather than understanding realpolitik. | |

Chekhov's Lecture: Róża makes one about Masurian funeral traditions. Tadeusz uses it when preparing for her funeral. He also uses a hatchet to kill Vasyl, following Róża's guess about what the axe is for in the tradition. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
Rose / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: All the Masurians who stay in their homes rather than escaping, try to keep their steads and fatherland, go through all sorts of humiliaition, persecution and even random lynches and manhunts... still get deported in the end. The only gynecologist in the area is a Soviet major, trying to help in a situation caused by his own army. | |

No Name Given: While Julian is named in story, the credits just call him "WÅ‚adek's son". Played absolutely straight with WÅ‚adek's daughter who isn't named at all. Certain characters are nameless in-story and we only learn their names from the credits. | |

Rose / int_e1311c40 | comment |
Romancing the Widow: Initially, the only reason Tadeusz, himself a newly widowed man, tried to find Róża was to deliver her the personal belongings of her late husband - something he was asked for by Johann. Then he stays around to help Róża with the farm. Then they fall for each other, trying to find solace in the post-war mess they have to face without their spouses. | |

Anger Born of Worry | |
Rose / int_f4b1129f | comment |
Anger Born of Worry: Played for Laughs when Róża blows her top off at Tadeusz. He's demining the field she owns, while she mends his clothes back home. Suddenly, massive explosion shatters the windows and Róża runs alarmed to the last place she saw Tadeusz, looking around for his body. Turns out he has intentionally detonated a landmine he couldn't disarm, so she starts screaming at him, in German, apparently completely oblivious she slipped to another language. After which she tells him to come in for dinner before it gets cold. | |
