Polish artist Jan Lenica (1928-2001) was an animator as well as a celebrated poster designer. Die Nashörner (1964) is an 11-minute condensation of Eugène Ionesco's Rhinoceros that no doubt works best if you're familiar with the play but which nevertheless contains some funny moments, especially when "Rhinocerosism" starts to spread.

Borowczyk and Lenica's second collaboration is a politically correct romance told through the paintings of Jan Plaskocinski. Playful, witty, and ironic, Rewarded Feelings is augmented by a rousing score courtesy of the Warsaw Gasworks Brass Orchestra.
