| Item Description |
Winner of San Francisco International Film Festival’s most prestigious award in 2004, The Sky Prize; �Squint Your Eyes� takes us far beyond a simplistic look at an adult man’s and a teenage girl's friendship. Just like the early works by Kustorica, or of Tanovic’s "No Man's Land," this promising Polish director, Jakimowski, is a true master of balancing his vision on a tightrope stretched between gravity, irony and real comedy. Received five �Eagle� Awards from the Polish Film Academy in 2004, in four categories: best movie, best director, best actor, best script and the special fifth for being the most-liked film by the viewing audience.
Language: Polish, with English subtitles Director: Andrzej Jakimowski Release Date: 2002 Run Time: 88 min.

A Film About Friendship, June 10, 2005
"Squint Your Eyes" is a film about the friendship between a teenage girl and a man (Zbigniew Zamachowski) more than three times her age. The girl runs away from her parents, stays with the older man, and they form an odd, but innocent friendship. As the new friends interact and learn about each other, the viewers get a chance to reflect on Life itself.
I found the film to be very relaxing, but not boring. The film is a study in calm, with little action and no gunfights, as the older man lives in a world apart from everyone else. His landscape is picturesque and peaceful. Living away from the busy city life, he spends his days in the quiet farmlands with nothing more to do than simply gaze at the world around him.
"Squint Your Eyes" is an artistic drama, but also has its moments of good, solid humor. Overall, it's a statement about friendship and lifestyles. This is one to watch with your whole family, if the kids will sit still long enough to get into it's slow pace. |
