Grand Prix Rome International Film Festival for
The
Garden of Earthly Delights. In 2000 Lech Majewski became a member
of the European Film Academy.Majewski’s films are described as ‘beautiful and mystical’,
‘profound, subtle and very original’ (The Knight), ‘explosive’,
‘otherworldly’ and ‘defying expectations’ (Basquiat). He directs
with ‘assurance’, ‘unswerving intensity’ (Wojaczek), ‘dark sense
of humor’ (Angelus) and ‘spare’, ‘arresting’, ‘vivid’ and
‘painterly’ visual style (The Knight). His ‘composition’ is
‘meticulous’ (Angelus). His films are ‘modern visual arts
masterpieces’ (The Roe’s Room), ‘an accomplished and engrossing
spectacle’, which create ‘a haunting, austere parable’ or ‘a
striking metaphor for our times’, where we ‘enter a dreamlike
world where our imagination is given free rein’ (Gospel According
to Harry). |
