There was a black and white film made about a survivor/recluse set in some kind of wasteland we think might have been Poland; bleak grainy and lots of stunted trees. It' was a very well reviewed film in the 1980's and got write ups in the Guardian. We think it had a one word name.

Does anyone have a clue what this film was called please?

Thanks

Andy

Andy,

Have you tried the britmovie.co.uk site?
Might be worth a shot.

There is a forum there where you cam ask all sorts of film/tv stuff.
Hope that's of some help.
Cheers,
Jim.

Good advice Jim but we think it's a Polish film and my son's girlfriend thought she saw it on Polish TV when she was a kid. Having said that she might have seen something else like it or a dubbed version of a Brit film set in Poland.

Very existential account of a someone living in an industrial wasteland like Silesia.

Title might have had something to do with foxes.

So any ideas?

Andy

Maybe something in here jogs your memory - although it seems they've only listed films shown in the Cannes or Berlin film festivals:
