    Pretty Simple

    A Polish soldier is drilled in front of the camera.

    Is this animation or live action? I suppose it could be argued either way, because even though it uses almost exclusively real footage of a real man, it comes across as stop-motion. And, I suppose, there is something clever about that. Maybe we could make a point about how soldiers are "manipulated" by someone else to do their bidding. Is this what the film is intended to show? I doubt that.

    The film is a nice distraction, but certainly not a must-see unless you are absolutely a fan of the director's work. And even then, I doubt anyone would say this is their favorite film.

    *** (out of 4)

    A Polish soldier is lined up against a wall and forced to do various training techniques in this rather amazing and funny short from Borowczyk. The film is part animation and part still photography and the added sound effects really make for an interesting film. There are various funny sequences but my favorite is probably the scene where the soldier is trying to fire his riffle but can't get it to go off so he puts it up to his eye. The dream sequence at the end is rather nice as well. This short runs just over six-minutes and it contains more magic in those minutes than anything of the features I've seen from the director. Original title: Ecole, L'.
