“School, The (1958) u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e*** (out of 4) u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA Polish soldier is lined up against a wall and forced to do various training techniques in this rather amazing and funny short from Borowczyk. The film is part animation and part still photography and the added sound effects really make for an interesting film. There are various funny sequences but my favorite is probably the scene where the soldier is trying to fire his riffle but canu0026#39;t get it to go off so he puts it up to his eye. The dream sequence at the end is rather nice as well. This short runs just over six-minutes and it contains more magic in those minutes than anything of the features Iu0026#39;ve seen from the director. Original title: Ecole, Lu0026#39;.”
