The Montgolfier Brothers’ Interrupted Breakfast Marek Hendrykowski’s study presents an analysis of a unique film made in 1979 by the young Polish director Michał Tarkowski during his studies in the Lodz Film School. The author argues that in several respects Tarkowski’s The Montgolfier Brothers’ Interrupted Breakfast is a perfect example illustrating the original use of art-cinema conventions and forms for what might be interpreted as the aesthetics of camp, but also as mediated “landscape of events” (based on a term invented by Paul Virilio).
Tarkowski in Łódź Exhaustively researched, Marek Hendrykowski’s study devoted to young Polish director Michał Tarkowski includes in-depth analysis and new readings of his student films (documentaries and features) made in the late 1970s in Lodz Film School. The author argues that in several respects Tarkowski’s etudes were perfect examples illustrating an original use of art-cinema conventions and forms by a skilful practitioner of what might be called the aesthetics of the bitter parody and contemporary grotesque.
