Big Animal

Followed by a discussion with Suzana Períc

This lovely, passionate 2000 Polish film exposes greed and pettiness while celebrating the most beautiful human themes: love, friendship, and tolerance. Renowned filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski (Dekalog) wrote the screenplay about a couple who adopt a camel and the impact that has on their family and town. It was shot in shimmering black-and-white by Oscar-nominated cinematographer Pawel Edelman (The Pianist).
