A new film by the internationally-acclaimed director Lech Majewski (Angelus, Wojaczek, Gospel According to Harry.) The movie is based on Majewski's novel "Metaphysics." Chris, a loner who lives in the world of symmetry and arithmetics, and Claudia, an Italian girl fascinated with the painting of Hieronymus Bosch and Medieval alchemy. Both seek their own place in the world, trying to find and express truth about their lives. Chris records with his video camera every moment spent together; Claudia, in turn, attempts to decipher the hints hidden in Bosch's painting "The Garden of Earthly Delights," on how to achieve the paradise on Earth. Beautiful, auteur film with intimacy rarely seen in a cinema today.

In 1982, he staged Homer's Odyssey on the River Thames, receiving much attention and acclaim. The London Times hailed it as "a potent theatre". He has published several books of poetry, essays and fiction. In 1993 he staged Krzysztof Penderecki's opera Ubu Rex and in 1995 Bizet's Carmen, transmitted live by CANAL+. The prestigious magazine "Opera International" cited this staging among the best of 1995 opera productions in the world. In 1996, he debuted as a composer (together with Józef Skrzek) and a librettist writing his autobiographical opera Pokój Saren. It premiered at the Silesian Opera and was awarded a Golden Mask.

A year later, he produced a series of CD's featurning Polish modern music masters, notably Henryk Mikołaj Górecki.
