At age 84, legendary director Jerzy Skolimowski (The Deep End, Moonlighting) has directed one of his spryest, most visually inventive films, following the travels of a peripatetic donkey named EO. After being removed from the only life he’s ever known in a traveling circus, EO begins a journey across the Polish and Italian countryside, experiencing cruelty and kindness, captivity and freedom. Skolimowski imagines the animal’s mesmerizing journey as an ever-shifting interior landscape, marked by absurdity and warmth in equal measure, putting the viewer in the unique perspective of the protagonist. Skolimowski has constructed his own bold vision about the follies of human nature, seen from the ultimate outsider’s perspective. An NYFF60 Main Slate selection. A Sideshow and Janus Films release.
No movie that I’ve seen this year has moved me as deeply, made me feel as optimistic about cinema or engaged me with such intellectual vigor.
—Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
The best film of the year.
—Amy Taubin, Art Forum
Hypnotic. Bold in a way few contemporary films truly are.
—Christina Newland, Sight & Sound
Daringly imaginative.
—Richard Brody, The New Yorker
A sobering, cinematic masterpiece.
—Dustin Chang, Screen Anarchy
