Description

An elegant, sensitive and humorous view of the friendship between an older man and a teenage girl. The film steps outside any usual or familiar cinematic framework, becomes a much larger work than the simple story of an adult man and a teenage girl's friendship. Just like the early films of Poland's Kustorica, or like Tanovic's "No Man's Land," director Jakimowski is a master of his art, balancing gravity and irony, comedy and reality, the elements that can turn a very good film into something really great.

5 out of 5 stars A Film About Friendship .......2005-05-04

"Squint Your Eyes" is a film about the friendship between a teenage girl and a man (Zbigniew Zamachowski) more than three times her age. The girl runs away from her parents, stays with the older man, and they form an odd, but innocent friendship. As the new friends interact and learn about each other, the viewers get a chance to reflect on Life itself.

I found the film to be very relaxing, but not boring. The film is a study in calm, with little action and no gunfights, as the older man lives in a world apart from everyone else. His landscape is picturesque and peaceful. Living away from the busy city life, he spends his days in the quiet farmlands with nothing more to do than simply gaze at the world around him.

"Squint Your Eyes" is an artistic drama, but also has its moments of good, solid humor. Overall, it's a statement about friendship and lifestyles. This is one to watch with your whole family, if the kids will sit still long enough to get into it's slow pace.

Product Description

The film goes beyond the story of an adult man and a teenage girl's friendship. Just like early Kustorica or Tanovic, in his "No Man's Land," Polish director Jakimowski is a master of balancing the borderline between gravity, irony and comedy.
