Surreal Grotesque Indeed! "In An Old Manor House" is a disturbing, erotic, chilling ghost story with twists and turns, as well as political rebellion. You may need to watch it a few times to fully understand it, but you won't mind for you'll be mesmerized by its psychological and gothic terror and perverse, sensuous love scenes. Beata Tyszkiewicz is so beautiful and hypnotic as the wicked phantom, Anastazja, you want to be seduced by her yourself! Of course some will object to bizarre horror and incestuous themes. I would recommend it to those who enjoy the fiction of Matthew Lewis, V. C. Andrews, or Anne Rice.

Then the German Gestapo arrives. The commandant asks for the list of patients, sorts out the "Aryan" doctors from the others on a return trip, and herds everyone into trucks for evacuation to the extermination camps. A young doctor momentarily escapes by covering himself under a pile of laundry in the basement, and then escapes to the woods just as the Nazi soldiers appear.

A portrait of a man who analyses his life on his 44th birthday. The past and the present, the actual and potential developments blend in a dreamy vision. "The protagonist seems to assume that travelling in time is possible, and things happen in an imaginary, invented time which he fittingly adjusts and changes", said Konwicki in the Film Press News 1/1972. The film is a formally complex analysis of what is commonly referred to as the Polish fate. Awards: 1972 - The Warsaw Mermaid of the Film Critics' Club at the Polish Journalists' Association in the feature film category; Special Jury Award at the Lubuskie Film Summer in Lagow; 1973 - Special Award for Screenplay at the San Remo Film Festival.
