Walkover (Walkower)
Walkower
Jerzy Skolimowski's second feature (and first fulllength narrative) cemented his status as a oneman Polish New Wave, with the rhythms of his films influenced as much by jazz and (his own) poetry as by more conventional storytelling. Skolimowski himself plays a dropout-turned amateurboxer who's distracted from his bouts when Teresa (Aleksandra Zawieruszanka), an old university friend, re-enters his life.
