Much like Konwicki's 1958 film "The Last Day of Summer", "All Souls' Day" is a story of survivors and the lasting psychic damage of World War II. In both films, the director embraces his position as a film amateur, self-consciously avoiding genre conventions. Unlike his earlier effort, however, "All Souls' Day" is driven by more conventional plot and dialogue elements that move beyond experimental filmmaking.
