Break Up the Dance

Rozbijemy zabawe (1957)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

This early short film from Roman Polanski certainly isn't the greatest thing he's ever done but it's got its moments that make it worth viewing. A bunch of fancy nice people are having a cute little dance when a group of punks break in and cause trouble.

Apparently Polanski once threw a party and then invited a group to invade it and break things apart and this is where the story here is coming from. For the most part the B&W cinematography is extremely good and there's certainly a nice comic tone throughout leading up to the violence. There's certainly nothing ground-breaking here and the short remains watchable through it's running time. The final scenes of the aftermath are well done.
