Ultimately Disappointing

The film is really well made and the first half is very intriguing but then it starts to unravel and becomes rather tedious.

Contrary to the urban legend the female lead, Iwona Petry was not plucked out of obscurity to be in this movie. She was actually in another Polish film three years earlier.

And she didnt leave movies because she was traumatized by the nude scenes, which are relatively tame. She got married about the time this movie was made, returned to school and has been writing books of poetry ever since.

She sure did have a smoking hot body in this film, but she's not a good actress and she hasnt aged well.

The movie is worth a look, but be warned: you will likely get bored around midway.

"Chamanka - Italianka" or "The Last Tango in Krakow"

The absolute low point of Andrzej Zulawski's career

The controversial screenplay by Manuela Gretkowska became unwatchable when transferred to the big screen. In 2004 the film was voted the worst Polish movie of all time although the competition grew a little stronger since then, of course ;) Iwona Petry instead of becoming a famous actress needed therapy to recover from "the experience". I wouldn't say - avoid at all cost, but please don't start your viewing adventure with the late Polish master's movies with this... work.

Erotic, Occult, Sad, Weird, And Unforgettable

This is the Most Peculiar movie I've seen. The characters are very psychopathic. Rather they make me mad.

She(her names never appear)behaves intensely instinctively all the time.

And there is numerous explicit Sex scenes. If it release in USA, maybe rated NC-17. Above all, the zealous acting moved me.

Though this is a difficult film, I really love this.
