This one wasn't really my cup of tea until it really got me going during its significantly more interesting second half. Because once the main character's private reverie is interrupted by the intrusion of the outside world and the film isn't exclusively about Anna and her voyeur, that's when the film's politics of peeping get complicated. I'm not quite sure what to make of this after a certain point but I do find it intriguing, even if I prefer Skolimowski's relatively straight-forward Essential Killing.

I guess last year really was the year of Brian De Palma and Jerzy Skolimowski for me, huh? See my piece for Capital New York.

Of course I always rob the bodies of the dead, doesn't everybody?! See my piece on Skolimowski's movies for the L Magazine.
