EO

Skolimowski’s most recent film is his most inventive yet, a tender and hypnotic portrait of a donkey named Eo. After he is removed from the traveling circus he has always called home, Eo sets off on an epic journey across the Polish and Italian countryside, experiencing kindness and cruelty in equal measure. In this poetic homage to Robert Bresson’s AU HASARD BALTHAZAR, Skolimowski boldly comments on humanity, global warming, and cinema itself, presenting his vision through the kind and trusting eyes of Eo, and placing the viewer directly in the heart of his four-legged protagonist.

Two by Skolimowski: IDENTIFICATION MARKS: NONE (6:00 p.m.) and EO (8:00 p.m.)
