Topic: Jerzy Skolimowski


In the News (Sun 27 Dec 09)

  
  Jerzy Skolimowski
Skolimowski entered college to avoid military service, studied ethnography, history and literature and took up boxing, which was also the subject of a feature-length documentary, his first notable film.
Skolimowski was obliged to use Jan Nowicki in the lead role as the medical student abroad in the world, (11) his persona bringing a dreaminess to 'the man with a suitcase' in place of the more desperate reticence of Andrzej.
The 'happening', as Skolimowski calls it, (16) is staged in a railway cattle truck by four ex-students, now doctors in the grip of middle-aged conformity, with Skolimowski (as Andrzej, although continuity with Andrzej in the previous film is by no means exact) acting as a kind of master of ceremonies.

 World Cinema: Directors -- Jerzy Skolimowski
A poet, actor, athlete and ex-boxer, Skolimowski co-scripted Andrzej Wajda's Niewinni Czarodzieje / Innocent Sorcerers (1960) and Roman Polanski's Noz w Wodzie / Knife in the Water (1962).
However, his subsequent career has fared better when he has dealt with a Polish theme: both in Moonlighting (1982, UK), his response to the imposition of martial law, and in Success is the Best Revenge (1984, UK), he deftly intertwines his experience as a Polish artist with astute insights into the eccentricities of the British.
Skolimowski returned to Poland to film Ferdydurke / 30 Door Key (1991), an adaptation of a novel by Gombrowicz, one of Poland's most distinguished modern writers.
