This is an action film with intelligence, originality and flair.”—Derek Malcolm, London Evening Standard Deep End: 40th Anniversary screening at 8:30pm! “Deep End is another of those British films made by a foreigner—even if much of it was shot in Munich—that ought to shame the British cinema. It is funny, touching, sexy, surreal, and tragic—all at the same time and all with the sting of a punch in the nose.”—David Thomson Director in person! Ever the iconoclast, filmmaker, boxer, poet and painter Jerzy Skolimowski began his career in Poland in the 1960s as a screenwriter for Wajda and Polanski, before directing a series of radical, highly personal films (Identification Marks: None, Walkover, Barrier) that established him as one of the major figures of the new Polish cinema. In the 1970s and ’80s, he worked prodigiously as an expat in Europe and America (including Cannes prize winners The Shout and Moonlighting), followed by an extended hiatus from movies to concentrate on his figurative expressionist painting. Having triumphantly returned with the acclaimed Four Nights with Anna (presented at the 2008 New York Film Festival), Skolimowski continues his filmmaking renaissance apace with Essential Killing, winner of the Best Actor and Special Jury Prize awards from Quentin Tarantino’s jury at this year’s Venice Film Festival.

			Essential Killing Jerzy Skolimowski, 2010, Poland/Norway/Ireland/Hungary, 35mm; 83m Skolimowski’s latest reworks the director’s twin career-ranging themes, individualism and obsession, into a provocative meditation on the politics of terror in the wake of Afghanistan and Iraq. In a mesmerizing, wordless performance, Vincent Gallo plays a bearded insurgent, captured by American soldiers in an unnamed Middle Eastern country, waterboarded, interrogated and finally transported to another unnamed country somewhere in Eastern Europe. En route, the battered man makes a daring escape into a harsh snowbound landscape, where, barefoot and starving, pursued by helicopters, he is forced to survive on his most basic instincts.

			Deep End Jerzy Skolimowski, 1970, West Germany/UK, 35mm; 90m Skolimowski’s second film made outside of Poland—and one of his greatest—centers on Mike (John Moulder-Brown), a shy, 15-year-old high-school dropout who takes a job as the male attendant at a London public bathhouse. There, he learns the ropes—and the predilections of the sex-starved clientele—from beautiful, red-haired Susan (Jane Asher), for whom he soon develops a dangerous, deeply obsessive infatuation. A Swinging Sixties Vertigo, shot through with perverse dark humor (including former “it” girl Diana Dors memorably burying Mike’s head in her breasts while fantasizing about Manchester United winger George Best) and accompanied by a Cat Stevens song score, Deep End remains a signature Skolimowski triumph. Not on DVD. Screening introduced by Jerzy Skolimowski.		Buy Tickets Mon Dec 20: 8:30
