赞努西打开国际影坛大门的早期代表作，以繁复而疏离的形式和内省的命题著称。 藉由一心进入知名学府物理系就读的男主角，日后恋爱、辍学、逃离尘世到回归体制的过程，不断从生活、精神、 思想上发掘冲突与辩证，游走在性灵与现实、自由与责任的拉据。不仅反映了当时波兰青年知识份子的心境， 也确立赞努西日后作品的内在主题。

An aspiring poet in 1950s New York has his ordered world shaken when he embarks on a week-long retreat to save his hell raising hero, Dylan Thomas.

　　This film, very much of its time shows London in the early 1970's. Of course now a different world. Note the old fashion Underground ticket machines, and the Black and White Telly in the flat. The location looks very much like Churchill Gardens, Pimlico, with Battersea Power Station in the background. And, plenty of smoking going on, in pubs, and on the tube. The film is strangely sexy in its own way, with the young girl playing along with the much older man, its really a sexual fantasy come true. It is another one of those British low budget film where the low budget adds to rather that take away value. Watch for fun, which is what it is.
