"Ssaki" or "Mammals" is a Polish 10-minute movie from almost 55 years ago. Today, it is mostly known for its director and writer, the famous Oscar-winning filmmaker Roman Polanski. This is one of his early career efforts, even if he already made some more short films by 1962. Here he is not acting or at least not playing one of the two major characters. We watch two men in the snow interact with each other, sometimes being kind to one another, sometimes not so much. And they are always busy pulling a big sleigh behind them and this is already pretty much everything this is about. So yeah, Polanski was still adjusting to the medium and nobody should be surprised that it looked a lot older than it actually was, even if it was pretty old. No audible language once again, which was typical for early Polanski (short) films, so you can watch it, regardless where you are from. But why would you, it is not memorable at all. I don't recommend it.
