Two by Walerian Borowczyk

Tantalizingly surreal, dreamily erotic, and wickedly subversive, the films of Polish provocateur Walerian Borowczyk are symbol-laden existential reveries rendered in painterly soft focus. Made in the midst of his most notorious period, the grief-suffused psychosexual drama La marge and the blasphemous nunsploitation shocker Behind Convent Walls are fascinating variations on his recurring themes of religious and sexual repression, shot through with the strange beauty and unsettling ambiguity that lend his films their haunting power.
