Moonlighting (DVD, 2005) New/Sealed, Jeremy Irons, Eugene Lipniski

Description: New DVD An English-speaking Polish foreman hides news of martial law from his Polish work crew in London. Directed by Jerzy Skolimowski. Jeremy Irons gives a sleek, subtle, and gripping performance in the little-known gem Moonlighting (no relation to the popular TV series). Nowak (Irons) leads a small team of Polish building contractors, hired by a wealthy Pole to illegally refurbish his London home. They slip into England under false pretenses and squat in the house as they work on it--but shortly after they arrive, the military take over Poland and declare martial law (this real event happened in December of 1981). Only Nowak speaks English, so only he knows this has happened; fearing that if the others find out, they'll stop working, he decides not to tell them. As he starts stealing and scamming to stretch their rapidly vanishing money, Nowak grows increasingly paranoid and mentally fragile. Moonlighting is a political allegory and a psychological portrait, but thanks to Irons' sympathetic performance, the movie is also rivetingly suspenseful. Every time Nowak shoplifts, the tension--all the more intense for being such an ordinary circumstance--will make your skin crawl. Written and directed by Jerzy Skolimowski (who co-wrote the screenplay for Roman Polanski's debut film Knife in the Water), Moonlighting is a deceptively simple and potent film that deserves a wider audience. --Bret Fetzer Aspect Ratio ‏ : ‎ 1.78:1 MPAA rating ‏ : ‎ PG (Parental Guidance Suggested)Director ‏ : ‎ Jerzy Skolimowski Media Format ‏ : ‎ Color, Widescreen, DTS Surround Sound, NTSCRun time ‏ : ‎ 1 hour and 37 minutesRelease date ‏ : ‎ October 24, 2005Actors ‏ : ‎ Jeremy Irons, Eugene Lipniski, Edward Arthur, Mike Sarne, Denis HolmesStudio ‏ : ‎ Trinity EntertainmentNumber of discs ‏ : ‎ 1
