Boro, L'Ile d'Amour

There has been a recent revival of interest in the work of Polish film director Walerian Borowczyk, a label-defying auteur and escape artist if there ever was one. This collection serves as an introduction and a guide to Borowczyk s complex and ambiguous body of work, including panoramic views of the director s output, focused studies of particular movies, and more personal, impressionistic pieces. Taken together, these contributions comprise a wide-ranging survey that is markedly experimental in character, allowing scholars to gain insight into previously unnoticed aspects of Borowczyk s oeuvre.
