Abstract
Mammals
Series of visual gags filmed in the snow involving two men and a sled in a struggle for power.
Two Men and the Wardrobe
Two men emerge from the water with a large mirrored wardrobe and lug it through a series of absurd, sometimes violent situations before returning to submerge where they started. Made while Polanski was a student, this eloquent fantasy-parable elucidates the problems of maintaining a private life in the world today.
The Fat and Lean
This attack on government tyranny and absurdity is a parable told in terms of broad comedy and uses the relationship between a vulgar, filthy, boorish man and his browbeaten servant to illustrate its bitter theme.
