We can already witness a crystalline vision in Zanussi’s debut feature as he gives us an existential take on what makes one continue to live the life that one now lives, as two physicist friends deliberate on their vastly different life paths.
One of Zanussi’s most radical and playful offerings as his protagonist, a physicist, attempts to put faith in science to explain human existence and matters of life and death.
A young Polish man living with his dying mother harbours dreams of scaling the Himalayas but has to face rampant corruption at his workplace in Zanussi’s character study of a person caught in the two worlds of morality and mortality.
Polish master Zanussi’s early work is such a uniquely irresistible and besetting experience, about a man who returns to his ancestral home after many years only to find that his family is still as dysfunctional.
