Our take

The live-action feature debut from controversial expat Polish director Walerian Borowczyk is a distinctive and stylized fable of mythical proportions. Immerse yourself in the dark and dream-like aura of this glorious restoration, which includes previously omitted color inserts. Is freedom possible?
