Edges of the Lord

Edges of the Lord is an awardwinning 2001 film, written and directed by Yurek Bogayevicz, set in Poland during World War II, starring Willem Dafoe and Haley Joel Osment.

The film was not widely reviewed, and the published reviews were mixed. Haley Joel Osment was described by one reviewer as having an unusual emotional depth in the film, where he emotionally centers the film, with a balanced, thoughtful portrait. This reviewer also correctly predicted that because the film was shot in English, with many of the actors speaking with Polish accents, it would quickly go to video and TV. David Nusair described the film as a fairly decent setup thats entirely squandered by Bogayevicz, with the filmmakers apparent inability to develop these characters beyond their most superficial attributes surely playing a key role in the movies ultimate and colossal downfall. Reviewer John J. Puccio described the film as a movie that starts grimly, lightens up slightly, and then gets very gloomy, indeed.The film won the award for Best Screenplay by Yurek Bogayevicz, who also directed the film at the 2001 Polish Film Festival. The film was also nominated for six awards at the 2002 Polish Film Awards Best Film, Best Supporting Actress Olga Frycz, Best Director Yurek Bogayevicz, Best Screenplay Yurek Bogayevicz, Best Cinematography Pawel Edelman and Best Costume Design Jagna Janicka ........
