EO, dir. Jerzy Skolimowski, Poland / Italy 2022, 88 min., Polish & Italian with English subtitles, 15
Directed and co-written by Jerzy Skolimowski, EO is a strikingly beautiful and mesmerising vision of modern Europe through the eyes of a donkey, who embarks on an epic journey, experiencing cruelty and kindness, while bearing witness to the follies and triumphs of humanity.
EO, a grey donkey with melancholic eyes and a curious spirit, begins his life as a circus performer before escaping on a trek across the Polish and Italian countryside. During his travels, he encounters an eclectic cast of characters, including a countess (Isabelle Huppert), a young Italian priest (Lorenzo Zurzolo) and a riotous Polish football team. EO’s journey speaks to the world around us, an equine hero boldly pointing out societal ills, and serving as a warning to the dangers of neglect and inaction, all while on a quest for freedom. Inspired by Robert Bresson’s 1966 film Au Hasard Balthazar, legendary filmmaker Jerzy Skolimowski’s visually inventive film places the viewer directly in the heart and mind of the four-legged protagonist.
