- Synopsis:
Second Run presents a selection of essential works by Polish filmmaker and iconoclast Jerzy Skolimowski, one of international cinema's most prolific and celebrated filmmakers. This special edition box set contains three features - Walkover (1965), Barrier (1966), and Dialogue 20 40 60 (1968), plus rarely seen early short films...
Walkover (Walkower) (1965)Skolimowski's semi-autobiographical second feature follows a disillusioned boxer on the eve of his 30th birthday. Shot in a series of superbly choreographed long-takes inspired by jazz and poetry, 'Walkover' is a landmark of 1960s cinema. Its sheer bravura, dark humour and visual invention remain as potent as ever.
Barrier (Bariera) (1966)
Considered by many to be Skolimowski's masterpiece, this intoxicating, inventive tour de force follows an alienated medical student as he attempts to make sense of the modern world. Romantic, exuberant and often surreal, 'Barrier' is one of the most remarkable films of the new Polish cinema of the 1960s.
Dialogue 20 40 60 (Dialóg 20-40-60) (1968)
In this bold, experimental feature, Skolimowski and Czechoslovak directors Peter Solan and Zbynek Brynych create three separate stories in which couples from different generations deliver the same dialogue. The identical lines take on unexpected new meanings in their differing contexts, raising questions about life, love and marriage.- Actors:
