Four Nights with Anna(Cztery noce z Anna)
Dir: Jerzy Skolimowski
Poland/France, 2008, Polish, 91mins, DCP
Cast: Artur Steranko, Kinga Preis, Jerzy Fedorowicz
After a 17-year hiatus, Skolimowski has lost none of his power to provoke, astound and amuse, returning with a delicate tragiccomic parable of love. Living alone after his grandmother’s passing, a painfully shy crematorium worker channels his voyeuristic passion for a nurse by sneaking into her room at night while she sleeps. Ascetic, unsettling yet heartbreakingly romantic, this intimate story treats the stark reality with a poetic and elliptical approach, exploring the solitude of obsession in unrequited love, while playing with an austere ambiguity of how a desperate courage verging on insanity will end up in a world built with barriers.
