This study attempts to review the political view of Andrzej Wajda who is one of the best known film director of Poland cinema. I analyze Wajda’s films, Danton, Les Possedes and Katyn in order to understand his nationalist and conservative attitude. First, I briefly evaluate the meaning of nationalism and conservatism, and then consider his life story and filmography. Yet, I mainly concentrate on those films Danton, Les Possedes and Katyn in the context of the relationship between nationalism and conservatism. Basic argument of the article is that Andrzej Wajda has a nationalist and conservative political tendency which stands against both Nazism and Socialism, and the Enlightenment ideas which to some extend rooted in these ideologies.
