★★★★☆ One might presume that filmmakers would slow down and smooth off the edges in their dotage, regardless of the material or the formal experimentation of their youth. Fortunately, there are many that defy that expectation. The 84 year-old Jean-Luc Godard's abrasive Goodbye to Language 3D (2014) is about as far from safe as one can feasibly imagine while Polish master - and fellow octogenarian Adrzej Wajda seems just as unwilling to fade quietly into retirement. His fifty-fourth feature as director, Walesa: Man of Hope (2013), is a gripping biopic of a national and personal hero, humming with an infectiously rebellious energy that belies his advanced years.
