Jerzy Skolimowski
I suoi primi film rappresentano la crisi esistenziale dei giovani in un mondo disumanizzato, e sono quasi-autobiografici.
Ryposis/ Identification Marks None (1964), which originated in several shorts made over the four years he spent at the film school in Lodz, follows a disaffected young man, an anti-hero and a congenital liar, during the few hours before his departure for military service. It is the first installment of the more or less autobiographical saga of Andrzej Leszczyc (played by Skolimowski himself). Skolimowski's wife Elzbieta Czyzewska plays three different characters: the frustrated wife, the sexy single woman and the dreaming student (incidentally, three stages of life). The protagonist doesn't have any "marks of identity" because he has no identity. The film is mostly composed of long takes with a mobile camera. The cinematography a

Eyes Wide Open
Jerzy Skolimowski has said that he makes films to please himself. (1) Between 1964 and 1984 he completed six semi-autobiographical features (Rysopis, Walkover, Barrier, Hands Up!, Moonlighting and Success is the Best Revenge), a segment (in Dialóg) and two other features (Le Départ and Deep End) based on his original screenplays. Given his filmmaking origins it was always likely that he would have difficulty reconciling the intuitions so central to his filmmaking with the demands of international production. While living and working in as many countries, however, he also completed another six relatively big budget productions, including four international co-productions, between 1970 and 1992 (The Adventures of Gerard, King, Queen, Knave, The Shout, The Lightship, Torrents of Spring and Ferdydurke), all literary adaptations to which he applied a range of strategies while leaving a distinctive signature on each.
What follows divides discussion of Skolimowski’s films chronologically into the two separate streams as indicated above beginning with his most ‘personal’ films—the Polish sextet plus Le Départ, Dialóg and Deep End.
