I have seen many movies in my time, and only one was as suspenseful as any Horror movie. Moonlighting by Jerzy Skolimowski, is a human horror. There are scenes in this amazing movie that literally had me at the edge of my seat. It's not a horror you might be use to, it's a unique, one-of-kind type of Horror. Realistic film-making.
Stars Jeremy Irons, looks and speaks like a really Pole. Is this good acting, or is was he really from a Polish background?
Another reason why it works is because it was made while all these things in Poland where happening. It's based in 1982, and it was made in 1982. And it's based on a true story. Never does a movie do what this film did.
Moonlighting won Best Screenplay at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Golden Palm. It also came #8 of Roger Ebert's best Movies of 1982.
Jerzy Skolimowski, a Pole who left Poland because of the government, has been writing, directing, producing and acting for the last 45 Years, working in Poland, England, Germany, United States and France, among other countries.
This forgotten film is one of a kind, and one of the best movies of the 1980's. I'm not going into plot, because it's not important to know the plot. Just seeing the movie is what is important.
