Murder in front of our eyes

Warning: Spoilers
"Morderstwo" or "A Murderer" is an almost 60-year-old short film and it was made by the really young Roman Polanski in the year of 1957, so roughly a decade after World War Ii was over, to put things in perspective. Not only is it among the filmmaker's earliest works, it is also among his shortest as this one does not even run for 90 seconds. It is okay for that. Obviously, you cannot expect a great story, but it's pretty dramatic and as such not a disappointment to watch. We see a man in a large coat enter a room where another man is sleeping. The title already gives away what happens next. It is okay for what it is, but there is really nothing too special about it, so it may be a decent watch for huge Polanski fans and everybody else can skip it. Again, you won't need to understand Polish here. No dialogue is included, no music even this time. It is one of Polanski's very few silent works.
