With stunning visuals and a haunting score, master filmmaker Jerzy Skolimowski (Deep End, Moonlighting) invites the audience to see the world through the eyes of its four-legged hero, a curious Gray Sardinian donkey named EO.
The most highly honoured international film of the year, Skolimowski’s Cannes Jury Prize-winning, and Academy Award-nominated new film is a truly and significant and unique cinematic experience that demands to be seen.
After being removed from the traveling circus, EO begins a trek across the Polish and Italian countryside, experiencing the highs and lows of society, all the while never for a moment losing his innocence. During his travels, EO is both helped and hindered by the people he meets including a young Italian priest, a Countess, and a rowdy Polish soccer team that adopt him as their mascot.
Bring tissues, this film has moved reviewers to tears!
EO is in NZ cinemas from 9 November 2023.
