In his Cannes 2022 dispatch, Jonathan Romney wrote \u201cJerzy Skolimowski\u2019s EO is a flamboyant, visionary work: its execution\u2014including drone shots set to blazing red filters\u2014and wayward, fragmented narrative showed an energy shared by that little else at the festival. Corny but true: the wildest, youngest film in the lineup was made by an 84-year-old director up for anything.\u201d\n\nWith EO making its US premiere at this year\u2019s New York Film Festival, we sat down with Skolimowski over Zoom to discuss his radical re-imagining of Bresson, which follows a pure-hearted donkey adrift in a cruel world. Though the filmmaker\u2014known for such classics as Walkover, Deep End, Moonlighting, and many more\u2014wasn\u2019t able to attend this year\u2019s festival in person, he was happy to field our many questions about his latest, a powerfully empathetic work of striking beauty and visual imagination.
