A fitting introduction to Majewski's singular vision and multiple talents, The Roe's Room is the cinematic version of the “autobiographical opera” Pokój saren (itself based upon a book of his poetry), which was later selected as one of the best new operas in the world by International Theater Institute. In nineteenth-century opera, emotions sing, and this twentieth-century film jarringly recreates this truth inside a decaying Polish apartment complex. Between the four walls of their flat, a mother, father, and son grow older by the day, but their “reality” blossoms with the poetics of fantasy: milk spurts from the table, leaves sprout from a cracked shower wall, and in autumn deer invade their living room, to hide in the wheat that's grown through the carpet. Reminiscent of the fantasies of Polish writer Bruno Schulz, The Roe's Room is a work to be felt as well as heard and seen, soaring with the harmonic beauty of song, and the just as beatific world of dream.
