EO
“#1 Movie of 2022” —Manohla Dargis, New York Times
“EO will steal your heart” —Cary Darling, Houston Chronicle
EO, a donkey with melancholic eyes and a curious spirit, begins life as a circus performer before escaping on a trek across the Polish and Italian countryside in a journey marked by absurdity and warmth. Director Jerzy Skolimowski has made a visually inventive film, placing the viewer directly in the heart and mind of the four-legged protagonist. EO won the Jury Prize and the Soundtrack Award at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and is shortlisted for an International Feature nomination at the Academy Awards in March 2023.
