SYNOPSIS:

Master filmmaker Krzysztof Zanussi returns behind the camera with Revisited, a pastiche of sorts that connects four of his earlier works filmed at different points throughout his career. A fake documentary filmed within the world of Zanussi's characters, it looks at where they have all gone since the endings of their own movies. Stefan (from A Heart in the Palm) interviews other past Zanussi characters (all played by their original actors), trying to make sense of his own story. This pseudo-sequel acts as a reflection on previous works, while managing to also create a new dialogue between Zanussi and his viewers. Incorporating actual footage from the films, this piece convinces us that his characters have lived alongside us all these years, and continues the philosophically poignant discussions that were then introduced. A unique and interesting examination of his own work, the director has seemingly set his characters free and has now allowed us to view them in the wild. Truly a picture that plays with the form of cinema and asks what it means to bring a character to life on film.
