Identification Marks: None (1965)
(Rysopis)
Country: POL
Technical: bw 73m
Director: Jerzy Skolimowski
Cast: Elzbieta Czyzewska, Jerzy Skolimowski, Andrzej Zarnecki
Synopsis:
A dropout student tires of his miserable marital existence in a garret flat and presents himself anew for military service. Over the course of the next eight hours or so he has the dog put down, cadges money off some old friends, flirts with seeing a prostitute and meets what might have been the woman of his life.
Review:
The director's first feature is a more or less logical sequence of twenty-nine shots, formally reminiscent of Malle's Le Feu Follet, though more experimental. Some are follow shots, others view dialogue from only the hero's perspective, others watch him as he confronts the strange otherness of life-changing decisions, at one point spending nearly all his money on a language course he will never attend. Enervating in his restless, purposeless energy, Skolimowski's protagonist seems to abandon one prison for another, finishing up in a deportation style railway carriage.
