Jerzy Skolimowski Collection (Walkover/Barrier/Dialogue 20 40 60, December 2023)

[Nitroes]

Nice to see this great director get more love especially after EO giving people a chance to see he's still relevant.

Listed as all-region on Diabolik.

Walkover (Walkower)
Jerzy Skolimowski’s autobiographical second feature, shot in a series of superbly orchestrated and choreographed long-takes, presents a tale of a disillusioned young boxer and his romance with a girlfriend. Inspired as much by jazz composition and Skolimowski’s own poetry, the wonderfully kinetic Walkover is a landmark of 1960s cinema.
1966 Cahiers du cinema / #2 Best Film of 1966

Barrier (Bariera)
Skolimowski’s intoxicatingly inventive masterpiece about man and the modern world, is ostensibly a “boy-meets-girl” romance, but emerges as a devastating allegory of the
contemporary Polish psyche, a film about national schizophrenia and the barrier between generations.
