Boro, L'Île d'Amour

“The contributors to this collection use new archival sources to provide a comprehensive map of Boro’s career and to reestablish his place in the history of Polish and European avant-garde and art cinema.  All the essays are well informed and clearly written; collectively, they provide valuable insights into Boro's often puzzling, sometimes scandalous motivations and productions.”• Choice

“Boro, L'Île d'Amour will prove an essential companion for both those readers who wish to dive deeper into specific topics, and those looking to cherry-pick individual films …one of the qualities that Borowczyk valued most in film was its ability to capture perpetual motion. [This volume] does just that: it honors the artist in flux, finding fresh points of connection, without trying to pin him down.”• Cineaste

“…a thought-provoking collection of different essays commenting on the life and films of a renowned Polish film director, Walerian Borowczyk… One of the strengths of this book is that the authors of the essays link Borowczyk’s artistic output with the social and artistic environment of Poland in which he grew up, and of France, where he spent most of his adult life.”• Slavic Review
