Andrzej Żuławski : 2015
One night in July, Witold, a law student, slips away from the city with a friend in order to see different things and have new experiences in a remote part of the countryside. They end up in a guesthouse run by a retired couple who live there with their daughter, Lena, and a maid. While the daughter's mouth is beautiful and pristine, the maid's is misshapen and unsightly. Immediately captivated by the sight of their lips, Witold starts to become obsessed with the two girls. He also gets drawn in by a series of strange, interlinked signs in an atmosphere that grows ever more stifling and sinister. A bleak and metaphysical noir thriller, based on the novel by Polish writer Witold Gombrowicz. Andrzej Żuławski's feature was winner of the Leopard for Best Director when it premiered in competition at Locarno Film Festival 2015.
