Now in his mid-80s, Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski proved that age is just a number when his film Eo premiered in Cannes last year, earning him the Jury Prize for this picaresque story of a donkey on the move, from good situations to bad. His lucky streak continued this year when the film was Oscar-nominated for Best International Feature — surprisingly, his first nod from the Academy in a career spanning 60 years.

Exclusive: Eo, filmmaker Jerzy Skolimowski’s Oscar-nominated tale about a wandering donkey, has found a streaming home.
The film will debut Tuesday on the Criterion Channel as a title for subscribers, and will be available the same day for purchase or rental on Apple, Amazon and Vudu.
After almost four months in theaters, the film continues to bring in audiences. It is expected to cross 1 million at the North American box office within the next week. The film has been playing exclusively in theaters to this point and has offered hope for the specialty sector, which has not seen the across-the-board rebound in attendance enjoyed by horror films and studio tentpoles.

Speaking to Variety by Zoom from Warsaw, Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski – the director of Oscar contender “Eo” – sits on his sofa with his dog Bufon, a German Shepherd, by his side.
Bufon, or “Buffon” as Skolimowski prefers to spell his name – as a tribute to the Italian soccer player Gianluigi Buffon – is an actor, having appeared in an early scene in “Eo” as a “chained barking beast,” in Skolimowski’s words. It is the only time that Bufon has been secured by a chain. “He was very, very nervous about that,” Skolimowski says.
Skolimowski and Ewa Piaskowska – “Eo’s” co-writer, producer (alongside Skolimowski), and Skolimowski’s wife – lived for many years in California, but then they came back to Poland, and moved to a 19th century hunting lodge deep in a wild forest. “We lived away from civilization, but enjoyed the full spectacle of nature once we left the house,...

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association (Lafca) announced the winners of their 48th annual awards on Sunday (Dec. 11). These California-based reviewers are the second major critics group to reveal their list of winners, as their New York counterparts went first last Friday (Dec. 2). The Gotham critics named the “Tar” as Best Picture. The Cali crew concurred but Todd Field’s film tied for the top prize with “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Field won both the directing and writing award while star Cate Blanchett shared the gender-neutral leading performance award with Bill Nighy (“Living”).
Last year, both groups went with the Japanese import “Drive My Car” as their pick for best pic. Directed by Ryûsuke Hamaguchi, “Drive My Car” tells the story of a stage actor and director who mysteriously disappears. His film reaped four Oscar bids, including Best Picture and Director and won Best International Feature.

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association is meeting to select its annual awards. TheWrap will update the list of winners as they are announced.
This year for the first time, the organization opted to make its acting categories gender-neutral, giving out two lead acting and two supporting acting awards without regard to its former actor and actress classifications. In the supporting category, the two winners were Dolly de Leon for “Triangle of Sadness” and Ke Huy Quan for “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Runners-up were Jessie Buckley from “Women Talking” and Brian Tyree Henry from “Causeway.”
In the below-the-line categories, the critics gave Michal Dymek the cinematography award for his work on the Polish film “Eo” and M.M. Keeravani the music award for the Indian epic “Rrr.”

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association voted on the best films of the year on Sunday, announcing its selections via the organization’s official Twitter account. The annual awards are given out by more than 60 Lafca members in the Los Angeles area, with the online voting process spearheaded by the group’s president Claudia Puig.
Competition was stiff, given this year’s particularly wide field of Oscar contenders. Voters will have to choose between arthouse dramas from elite directors, critically acclaimed blockbusters, and bold international films.
The awards ended up being relatively evenly split between arthouse films and those with more popular sensibilities. “TÁR” and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” shared the award for Best Film in a tie, and they both notched signature wins elsewhere in the competition. “TÁR” writer-director Todd Field won both Best Screenplay and Best Director, and Cate Blanchett shared Best Lead Performance with Bill Nighy...

“It gives me a lot of satisfaction. It’s an honor,” says Jerzy Skolimowski, the director and co-writer of “Eo,” Poland’s official entry for Best International Feature at the 95th Academy Awards. “It’s also proof that the film must be one of the better films made in Poland last year, so I’m very glad that I can represent with my film ‘Eo.'” Watch our exclusive interview with Skolimowski and his wife, the film’s co-writer and co-producer, Ewa Piaskowska, above.
“Eo” follows a donkey, born into a Polish circus and then released, as he encounters on his journey good and bad people, experiences joy and pain, exploring modern Europe through his eyes.

At the age of 84, Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski has crafted one of the most vigorously energetic and vibrant films of the year. Inspired by Bresson’s seminal classic Au Hasard Balthazar, but taking the idea to formally dazzling new heights, Eo tells the journey of a donkey traversing through Europe. Via a series of striking vignettes, we witness the totality of the human (and animal) experience.
As Poland’s Oscar entry opens in U.S. theaters courtesy of Sideshow and Janus Film, I had the pleasure of speaking with Skolimowski and his co-writer, producer, and wife Ewa Piaskowska about the total freedom they found in creating Eo, the power of Bresson, leaving room for the audience’s imagination, and the Christ-like allegory in the film.
The Film Stage: There’s a sense, watching the film, that you gave yourself total freedom in where this journey would go. Can you talk about developing the structure?...

How do you write music for a wandering donkey in Eo? Composer Pawel Mykietyn didn’t take the responsibility lightly.
“First off this donkey survived,” the Polish composer told the audience, with the help of an interpreter, at Deadline’s Sound & Screen awards-season event. “I hope I don’t disturb the movie by music. … Sometimes it’s difficult to know what a donkey feels.”
Eo, by Polish veteran Jerzy Skolimowski and submitted by Poland to this year’s Oscar International Feature race, is a vision of modern Europe as seen through the eyes of a a precious mule. “In the movie, the donkey is in a lot of different places, the donkey meets different people,” said Mykietyn. “There are different situations, some tragic, sometimes funny. I tried to follow the situation, follow the emotion … add some color.”

The words “Bressonian joy” are rarely deployed, but from Cannes onward we’ve heard almost exclusively great things about Jerzy Skolimowski’s Eo, a Balthazar spin that earned the 84-year-old director a Jury Prize and seemingly endless best-of-the-fest listings. Needless to say the wait for its opening has been felt.
Ahead of a November 18 release from Janus and Sideshow—their first since Drive My Car—we have a trailer for Skolimowski’s film, though I’d suggest holding out just a bit longer before seeing much else. As David Katz said in his review, “The barrier of language and gulf of understanding between man and animal is the subject of the quite wondrous Eo, a true surprise from the great Polish filmmaker Jerzy Skolimowski, now enjoying his mid-80s. It is adapted—freely inspired may be a better term—from Robert Bresson’s iconic 1966 film Au Hasard Balthazar; from Eo...

Poland has selected Jerzy Skolimowski’s Cannes-winning title Eo as its official submission to the International Oscar race this year.
The movie had its premiere in competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival where it won the Jury Prize and the Soundtrack award and it’s set to screen in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the Toronto International Film Festival next month and is part of the New York Film Festival’s main lineup.
Eo marks Moonlighting helmer Skolimowski’s first project in seven years and follows the travels of a nomadic gray donkey named Eo. After being removed from the traveling circus, which is the only life he’s ever known, Eo begins a trek across the Polish and Italian countryside, experiencing cruelty and kindness in equal measure, all the while observing the follies and triumphs of humankind.

It’s late summer, so it’s time to start talking about awards season. Cannes issued the first slate of contenders in the international feature Oscar race, and now Venice and Toronto are ready to screen another batch, which begs the question: What looks like the breakout pics from the festival circuit that should contend for kudos?
More than 90 countries have been submitting films for Academy consideration for the past few years, in order to walk away with the coveted best international feature Oscar. Coming off the Cinderella story of Japan’s “Drive My Car” from Ryûsuke Hamaguchi, which was also nominated for three other Oscars including best picture, it became the tenth film to be recognized for both best picture and international feature.
Can we expect another groundbreaker with this year’s crop of contenders?

One clear sign that a group of women are in a cult is if they start singing in unison. Take Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. If I just turned on my TV without context and saw them all singing while dumpster diving, I would know that those girls weren’t simply just hanging out. This also goes for The Other Lamb. If I went in blind, I would know there was something much more sinister afoot once all the girls in similar dresses started singing hymns. Following recent films like the former, Midsommar, Mandy, and Charlie Says, to name a few, director Małgorzata Szumowska looks to add another must-watch to the canon of films about cults.
The film follows Selah (Raffey Cassidy), who was born into a cult known as the Flock. The cult is made up of women who are referred to as daughters and mothers. The women are all similarly made up,...

Berlin -- Malgorzata Szumowska's "33 Scenes From Life" has won four Eagle Awards, Poland's top film honors, including the Eagle for best film.
"33 Scenes" also won the 2009 Audience Award along with nods for best editing (Jacek Dros) and soundtrack (composer Pawel Mykietyn).
Szumowska's film stars Julia Jentsch as a successful photographer whose marriage to a famous composer begins to fall apart.

Jerzy Skolimowski won the best director Eagle for "Four Nights With Anna," his comeback to filmmaking after an absence of almost 20 years.
