The late Andrzej Zulawski's final film, a literary adaptation suffused with his trademark freneticism, transforms Polish writer Witold Gombrowicz's novel of the same name into an ominous and manic exploration of desire. Witold who has just failed the bar, and his companion Fuchs, who has recently quit his fashion job, are staying at a guesthouse run by the intermittently paralytic Madame Woytis. Upon discovering a sparrow hanged in the woods near the house, Witold's reality mutates into a whirlwind of tension, histrionics, foreboding omens, and surrealistic logic as he becomes obsessed with Madame Woytis's daughter Lena, newly married to Lucien.

The movie "Kosmos" is basically about nothing and you can leave it with the feeling that it gave you absolutely nothing. But at the same time, you can marvel at the individual images, at the different scenes, at the overall abstractness, and even the bizarreness of some scenes. And I was particularly fond of this strangeness in the film. A beautiful farewell from Andrzej Żuławski to the world of cinema and to the world itself.
