Cztery noce z Anna - Jerzy Skolimowski (2008)

Leon Okrasa works a hospital in a small city in Poland. He once witnessed a brutal rape. The victim, Anna, is now a young nurse in the same hospital. Leon spends his time spying on Anna day and night–she becomes an obsession for him. One night, he becomes so bold that he climbs into her apartment through an open window. Leon then sits on her bed and watches her. However, it is unclear how far he will go with his obsession.

"Cztery noce z Anna" (Four Nights with Anna) is the first film in 17 years from the great Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski. It's small, bleakly funny, quite sad, and beautifully controlled - a tale of peeping-tom passion about a hospital handyman who drugs his favorite nurse's nighttime tea so he can sit and watch her as she sleeps. The film teases the pathos and even nobility out of this wretched man. It also features a great physical performance by Artur Steranko as the frightened, clever, seeming halfwit who spends his days tending a small town's hospital crematorium and his evenings spying on the ample nurse who lives across the muddy way.
