In 'Szamanka', anthropology professor Michal becomes obsessed with two things: a perfectly preserved ancient shaman's mummy they've discovered in a swamp and an enigmatic student he meets at a railway station, whom his classmates call 'The Italian'. 'The Italian' is radiant but unpredictable, driven by wild animal instincts. Their chance encounter sets off an intense, passionate relationship, bordering on fatal attraction.
Directed by Andrzej Żuławski in 1996, 'Szamanka' is a drama that explores themes of obsession and primal passion. Set against the backdrop of academic research into ancient cultures, the film delves into the dangerous allure of an enigmatic woman who draws a professor into her orbit.
