This is the first monograph, written in English, to be devoted to his cinema. It covers Skolimowski's career from his early successes in Poland, such as \u003ci\u003eIdentification Marks: None and Barrier\u003c\/i\u003e, through his  migr  films, \u003ci\u003eDeep End\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMoonlighting and The Lightship\u003c\/i\u003e, to his return to Poland where, in 2008, he made the internationally acclaimed \u003ci\u003eFour Nights with Anna\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Ewa Mazierska addresses the main features of Skolimowski's films, such as their affinity to autobiographism and surrealism, while discussing their characters, narratives, visual style, soundtracks, and the uses of literature. She draws on a wide range of cinematic and literary texts, situating Skolimowski's work within the context of Polish and world cinema, and drawing parallels between his work and that of two directors, with whom he tends to be compared, Roman Polański and Jean-Luc Godard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ewa Mazierska\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1782380558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782380559\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Ewa Mazierska","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988020265215,"sku":"9781782380559","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a6b18fa9-9f2d-4f9d-991f-0d8f41d21827.jpg?v=1683292176","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jerzy-skolimowski-ewa-mazierska-9781782380559","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
