movietext Karwowski's "Listopad" (screening as "November" at the 92 SFFF) was a slow journey into the mind of a disturbed woman with some beautiful scenery along the way. At the conclusion of the screening, one overly academic viewer asked a rambling question of Karwowski detailing the significance of water in the film (presumably regarding a scene in which a bathtub overflows while the central character is immersed in it and the water is still running). The charming Karwowski's answer was "I think I just liked water." The film, overall, is visually engaging enough to distract you from certain weaknesses in the tale itself, and I'm surprised that I haven't seen other works by the gifted young director.
