Second Run rebels with JERZY SKOLIMOWSKI: WALKOVER, BARRIER, DIALOGUE 20 40 60 + SHORT FILMS (review)

Jerzy Skolimowski brought to the screen Poland's very own version of the "angry young man" played by himself in WALKOVER as a boxer who must choose between a safe future and a shiny prize.  In BARRIER, Jan Nowicki is a student who quits medical school and romances a tram operator only to be swallowed up by his own escape from reality.  In the experimental portmanteau DIALOGUE 20-40-60, Skolimowski, Peter Solan, and Zbynek Brynych each explore love and relationships using the same dialogue script.
