Skolimowski was still a student at the Lodz Film School when he finished his melancholic semi-autobiographical debut feature, the first title in his Andrzej Leszczyc trilogy, a stylish study in youthful aimlessness starring Skolimowski as the titular young man who’s suddenly thrown his university studies and his girlfriend aside to join the army, and whom we see passing his final hours of freedom charting an idle course through a subtly surreal cityscape filled with ambient menace.
