Killing (2010)

After seventeen years of self-imposed retirement, in which he devoted himself to painting professionally in Los Angeles, the Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski returned in 2008 to the profession gave him popularity with a new film entitled Cztery noce z Anna . If this return were rare film dialogues in Essential Killing his latest production, banishes completely.

I can understand why Vincent Gallo agreed to be the central focus of this film, because the role is of considerable physical and emotional demands, however I seem strange and inexplicable motivations for making a film during all the footage we present the constant leakage of an individual, as if it were a video game, only to justify the title of the work. Yes, we understand that the main character kills to survive.

From

first sequence of the film, in which an unnamed Taliban (Vincent Gallo) murders a group of Americans with a rocket launcher before being arrested, begins the strange thesis film, which is exposed through an endless sequence of escape in which the main character, who comes from a culture completely alien to Western canons, wanders aimlessly through a cold and uncertain area of \u200b\u200bEurope that is transferred during his brief incarceration.

The location of the character in a totally unknown, which also fulfills the role of a fugitive from justice, subject to a degree of alienation so great that devolves to the state a beast of tundra becoming a being who kills out of necessity.

The explanation of the film ends there. Can not even say that what is presented on screen is a vindication of the Taliban violence to justify as a survival response, as the director established from the outset that the tape would not be taken as a political statement that sense.

is why the result is a collection of action sequences combined with some great moments of visual beauty courtesy of Adam Sikora, who had previously worked with Skolimowski and visibly tiring paper by Vincent Gallo, which won the award for best actor at the Venice Film Festival. However, as a whole, the work is an utter failure as a narrative that is shooting a simple anecdote, whose superficial way through a lot of important topics and their subsequent inability to address them is a real shame.
