There is not much to do. The quality of this page is high, and it just needs tightening. It's been so long your eyes might be fresh; you may find more. 7-day hold to Nyxaros. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:09, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Copy changes

• she is a gentle character, and does not demand anything from Mark This comma isn't needed; see User:Sammi Brie/Commas in sentences (CinS)
• allusion (the sounds of sirens and the rumble of explosions) on the I think allusion to would be more idiomatic.
• Thompson suggested Frederic Tuten, thus Żuławski went to New York to meet him Change the comma to a semicolon and add a comma after "thus"
• Remove the "the" in In 1976, he divorced the actress Malgorzata Braunek.
• Carlo Rambaldi, the famous Italian special effects artist maybe "a famed Italian special effects artist"
• The Philadelphia Daily News's Joe Baltake deemed the film a "boringly camp-elegante attempt by a group of reputable French, German and Polish filmmakers," and assessed Adjani's performance as "babbling, incoherent yet arresting."
  • Remove the comma after "filmmakers"
  • Move the period after "arresting" outside of the quotation marks (MOS:INOROUT). When you quote a sentence fragment, the period goes outside of the quotations. (This recurs a few more times with sentence fragments)

Sourcing and spot checks

Aside from two sites copying us (one being Metacritic itself), the highest Earwig percentage.

Five sources were chosen for spot checks.

• 2: Box Office Mojo is used for the US box office figures, which are correct. Y
• 9: Goddard 2017 is used four times. The increasingly desperate attempts on Marc’s part to hold onto his family, however contaminated or distorted it might be by evil and unfathomable forces, is the masked expression of a real struggle and a real loss not only of Żuławski’s family but also of the violent wrenching from his former social context. Y This source's citation should be expanded. His CV lists it (reproduced after this bulleted list). It appears to be the same one that already has an SFN set tied to it. This is apparently a chapter in the volume.
• 20: Attribute this quote in-text to Tom Huddleston, but it's there. Y
• 29: Citation of ASIN number proves volume's existence. Y
• 32: Quote from Schwartz is faithfully reproduced. Y

Goddard, M N. 2014. Beyond Polish Moral Realism: The Subversive Cinema of Andrzej Żuławski. In: Ewa Mazierska and M N Goddard, eds. Polish Cinema in a Transnational Context. Rochester NY, Woodbridge: University of Rochester Press/Boydell & Brewer, pp. 236-257. ISBN 9781580464680

Other items

• The plot summary is 690 words long, at the high end but within the 400–700 word range of MOS:PLOT.
• Run IABot to archive any unarchived references. (Some aren't, most are.)
• The film poster has a valid NFUR, and the 1977 image of the Berlin Wall is libre licensed. I recommend adding alt text.
