Zulawski’s infamous cult horror about a couple’s disintegrating marriage is as deranged a film as any, featuring a terrifying performance for the ages by Cannes Best Actress winner Isabelle Adjani.
Featuring arguably a career-best performance by Romy Schneider, Zulawski’s work here is enigmatic and indescribably haunting as it dissects the meaning of love and desire through the psychological destabilisation of its characters.
Zulawski’s unfinished sci-fi epic, disrupted by the then Communist Polish government, about the perils of forming a new civilisation on an inhospitable planet is manic, ambitious if somewhat befuddling filmmaking at its best, rendered generously with jump cuts, astonishing imagery and the commitment to highly-physical performances.
