Original Polish version with French subtitles
IDENTIFICATION MARKS: NONE and its totally controlled sequel WALKOVER, reveal an astonishing flexible style as it follows a central character, Andrzej Leszczyc, played by Skolimowski himself. Without resorting to a subjective camera, the director nevertheless makes us see reality through his hero. He refuses dramatic plot twists, filming instead in a manner very much like a jazz musician : all rhythm and improvisation. IDENTIFICATION MARKS: NONE tells of the few hours before being called up for military service, while WALKOVER provides an account of the time preceding a boxing match. A limited number of shots (39 and 29, respectively!) give an extraordinary sense of fluidity, of life caught in its most subtle shifts.
