      Audience Member A great symbolistic film that looks into the realities of immigrants and how they are pushed aside and looked down upon by Americans just because of their baggage. Great filming, great acting and great score. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The silent approach was a sensible one for a cheap student piece - no dialogue to worry about, and a good chance to get to grips with physical acting and purely visual story telling. With the 1950s European setting it reminds me a little of Jacques Tati. As I said though there really is no comedy in Two Men and a Wardrobe, at least, nothing to make you laugh out loud - it's more a case of weird little ideas and attention grabbing shots - also very typical of a young filmmaker looking to make an impact. More substance would be needed for Polanski to move onto full-length features. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member did pinoy sunday reference this short? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Nothing special or outstanding in this film. Two men on an adventure carrying around a cupboard. There is a great shot at the beginning with the men emerging out of the ocean with the cupboard and another great shot at the end when the men walk around a child who is filling the visible beach with little sand castles with his bucket. They then go back into the ocean. Nothing too notable in between besides some mindless violence. More of an learning exercise, than a real attempt at a film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This is Polanski's most well known short, and it's a doozy. It's a surreal and odd little thing, and it is just overwhelmingly charming with it's absurdity and quirkiness. The music is terrific, the images neat, and Polanski's cameo as a hoodlum is also fun. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting student film that observes the violence everywhere in the society. Polanski showed his interest in the dark side of human nature early on. Dramatic shots that never make audience bored. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
