Skolimowski [quit] the profession in 1991 following the debacle of "Ferdyduke," though the [rot] had been gradually setting into his career after the 1982 Jeremy Irons starrer "Moonlighting," shot in London. [Keen] to rediscover creative control, he's spent the past 17 years devoted to painting and poetry, before finding the right conditions to return to movies.

Inspired by a true story he read by chance in a newspaper, "Anna" [centers] [on] the obsessive love of a painfully shy, middle-aged crematorium worker for a nurse in the [attached] hospital of a small rural town. Opening reel is an attention grabber, as Leon Okrasa (Artur Steranko) is seen lurking in the rundown streets, buying an axe at a local store and ferreting [around] in a dingy basement where he incinerates a man's hand. 



At this stage, nothing is known about the main character, who's almost being set up as a wacko serial killer. Michal Lorenc's [chamber] score, which is a big assist throughout the movie either in maintaining momentum or in building atmosphere, likewise prepares the viewer for a dark murder drama. Unexplained flashbacks, with an off-screen voice interrogating Leon and abstract images like a dead cow floating down a river, also [stir] curiosity.
