Winning the Critics Prize at Cannes Provincial Actors explores rivalries between actors in rehearsal alongside the disintegration of a marriage. The cat and mouse role-play on stage and at home moves between frustration and inertia, with murderous thoughts along the way. Jacek Petrycki’s tight documentary style camerawork increases the tension. He became a regular collaborator with Holland.
