Poland/Italy/2022—directed by Jerzy Skolimowski | 86 minutes

After leaving a traveling circus – the only life he’s ever known – EO, a grey donkey with melancholic and expressive eyes, begins a journey across the Polish and Italian countryside, encountering the unfathomable chasms between cruelty and kindness, captivity and freedom. Legendary 84-year-old master director Jerzy Skolimowski (The Shout) imagines EO’s mesmerizing journey as an ever-shifting interior landscape, marked by absurdity and warmth in equal measure, and always putting the viewer in the relatable perspective of the movie’s four-legged protagonist.

With EO, one of the most visually inventive films of his long career, Skolimowski the artist has constructed a bold, avant-garde vision of the follies and wonders of human nature as seen from the ultimate outsider’s perspective – not even for a moment does this wondrous character lose his innocence.

Recommended for audiences 16 and up. Jury Prize Winner, 2022 Cannes Film Festival; Poland’s official submission to the 2023 Academy Awards® for Best International Feature. In Polish, Italian, English and French with English subtitles.

“A flamboyant, visionary work. The wildest, youngest film in the Cannes lineup was made by an 84-year-old director up for anything.” – Jonathan Romney, Film Comment
