Skolimowski goes into Nicolas Roeg territory in this idyllic English countryside drama that turns into inexplicable psychological terror when a couple is disrupted by the presence of a mysterious man who knows Aboriginal magic.
A saintly donkey’s journey on acid, but Skolimowski’s elusive, fragmentary work is also earthy, as he gives us a hallucinatory, at times visually dazzling, piece that pays obvious homage to Bresson’s much sparer and more spiritual ‘Au Hasard Balthazar’.
Skolimowski’s raw debut feature is like a Polish ‘Breathless’, though much less interesting and with little to really engage viewers.
