A worker, Leon, is deeply in love with Anna. (None of them are really young). During night time Leon will enter an open window and merely be sitting and looking at the sleeping Anna. He may also paint her toenails with nail polish. - Since he may also in daytime use different ways of being secretly near her, he is near in the barn, when another man binds her and rapes her. But here Leon makes a great mistake. He leaves the barn immediately after the rapist - almost as if they were together. Leon is the only one Anna could recognize. In the court he gives primitive answers. Why did he do it? "Love." He gets a 5-year prison sentence. - In a pause, maybe in an appellate court, Anna says to Leon, that she does not believe that he did it.
Leave your thoughts about Four Nights with Anna.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA brooding tale about an inarticulate misfit in modern-day rural Poland. |
| Reverse ShotLeo GoldsmithGrey and waterlogged, Jerzy Skolimowski's Four Nights with Anna is something like the Eastern European answer to Rear Window and Chungking Express, a deeply gothic, but no less romantic tale of voyeurism, breaking and entering, and secret love. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressThe film's tone between dark comedy and creepy psychodrama just never works and alternates with such mellowness that it's impossible to get a grasp on how we should feel about either 'victim.' |
| VarietyDerek ElleyOnetime enfant terrible of Polish cinema, and subsequently a wobbly emigre auteur in Belgium, the U.K. and U.S., vet Jerzy Skolimowski makes a small but commanding return to roots in obsessive-love drama Four Nights With Anna. |
| User ReviewJames CThis is a truly macabre little number. Leon works in a crematorium attached to a hospital and has an obsession with a nurse there who he saw violently raped. He begins to sedate her and then breaks into her house each night to do the housework (he sews buttons; fixes a clock and even cleans up after a birthday party he wasn't invited to). But things don't turn out for the best. This is Polish cinema for you - in a dark, funny and yet restrained film. |
| User ReviewBradley RMade me think of Kislowski...thank god someone is carrying on... low profile characters...low profile movie...very strong impact |
| User ReviewGiorgos VTres beau film, difficile d'acces par sa lenteur et sa narration non lineaire, mais qui prend enormement de force a mesure que l'histoire se denoue. Film sombre, triste, simple. Un realisateur a decouvrir. |
| User ReviewJustin Cles sombres parcelles de l'homme misent en images... Un psycho version rÃÂ (C)aliste et pathÃÂ (C)tique. brillant |
| User Reviewola kbeautifully shot, great acting, it's been a good year in polish cinema. dark, gruesome at times ( in the intriguing way ), simple story chopped into two time platform, amazing employment of music. it leaves you unfulfilled, but that way you can sympathize with main character. |
| User ReviewPrivate UAbout this guy that can't connect with women normally, so he breaks into a woman's place at night, watches her sleep, mends her clothes, paints her nails, etc. Kind of perverted, but its somewhat romantic too---and the girl almost responded to him after he was caught; based on a true story--slow paced movie where things are discovered as the narrative unfoldss |
