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 donkeyโs journey on acid, but Skolimowskiโs elusive, fragmentary work is also earthy, as he gives us a hallucinatory, at times visually dazzling, piece that pays obvious homage to Bressonโs much sparer and more spiritual ‘Au Hasard Balthazar’.ย
Skolimowskiโs raw debut feature is like a Polish โBreathlessโ, though much less interesting and with little to really engage viewers.ย
