Innocent Sorcerers

martin.pageheader

While a student in the Łódź school, Jerzy Skolimowski (the author of Knife in the Water), co-wrote Innocent Sorcerers with Andrzej Wajda. A love story and a portrait of young Poles in the 1950s, the film tells the tale of two people meeting in a bar. They don'’t care about the future; their lives seem to consist of going out, playing jazz and having love affairs with no strings attached. The night begins for them with a seemingly simple scenario— from small talk to bed. But as dawn approaches, what starts as an insignificant episode grows in meaning.
