Skolimowski had started to film this, the final film in his Andrzej Leszczyc trilogy, back in 1967, until the interference of Polish censors caused him to abandon the project and leave his homeland. Invited to revive the project by the liberalizing Polish government 14 years later, Skolimowski appended a color prologue in which he ruminates on his life in exile to the original black-and-white footage, a surreal satire of ’60s materialism that also looks back to the horrors of World War II and Stalinism.
