Barrier

Barrier

Retrospective: BARRIER + HANDS UP!

Barrier is Skolimowski’s third and the most acclaimed of his early films.  A university graduate leaves a cold campus for a new life armed with a suitcase, a coin he won from a friend, and the old sword given by his father. It is a film about two generations who have different feelings about the war; the older generation keeps imposing their emotions on the young, like passing on the sword once used in battles.

Hands Up! / Ręce do góry

Censored by the Polish authorities Hands Up! can be seen as a direct provocation for change. The film begins with a sci-fi motif: abstract images and electronic music. Then the viewer is taken from the ruins of Lebanon back into the past, featuring a score of Polish actors in a setting resembling Kantor’s experimental theatre. The story is a probing investigation of a group of young physicians who recall their university days during the Stalinist period while meeting at a class reunion. Originally completed in 1967, the film was not released in the West until 1981 after Skolimowski reedited it and added new colour footage.
