SUMMER LOVE
Signature
A stranger comes to town, a corpse strapped to his horse. But the head-hunter is not paid the reward he expects, and takes what he can get instead – which happens to be the Sheriff’s wife. The hunter is now the quarry. He flees into the mountains, the townspeople hot on his heels. The plot of this “first Polish Western” is classical, and likewise the setting and the stock figures – only the production is very different in a debut that bombards us with citations from a genre many have long given up for dead. Pjotr Uklañski zestfully plays with the conventions of both the classical and the spaghetti Western – all for a fistful of zloty, so to speak. German premiere.
