Made after a 17-year hiatus following the unhappy production of Thirty Door Key (1991), Four Nights with Anna finds Skolimowski an artist rejuvenated, collaborating for the first time with wife Ewa Piaskowska. Set in Poland’s rural northeast, the film follows Leon (Artur Steranko), a tongue-tied middle-aged mortician’s assistant who, after serving a stint in prison for a rape he witnessed but did not commit, begins a strange ritual of visiting the victim, a nurse named Anna (Kinga Preis) as she sleeps. A mysterious, ascetic, nocturnal film, steeped in desire and guilt, which announced the beginning of Skolimowski’s triumphant second act.
