Andrzej Wajda is one of those directors that has been working for ages and is highly respected but still manages to turn out films that seem occasionally amateurish. The only true masterpiece that he's ever made (that I've seen) was "Ashes and Diamonds" - the rest of his films certainly contain some great aspects, but in the end fall short of being great themselves. "The Conductor" is one of those. While it manages to make some interesting statements about the nature of musicianship and politics it nonetheless suffers from some glaring flaws: they couldn't have dubbed John Gielgud more poorly and the ending also leaves much to be desired. But I hope no one gets the feeling that I'm saying that this film should be avoided. On the contrary, if you can find it I highly recommend you see it. It is well acted and well shot, and is a very good (and even sporadically great) piece of cinema.
