\n \n Standing ovations, great reviews, and top marks for Roman Pola\u0144ski’s f<\/strong>ilm bring to mind the times of The Pianist<\/span><\/em>. The epic thriller An Officer and a Spy<\/span><\/em>, based on the best-selling novel by Robert Harris<\/strong>, is one of the peak achievements in Roman Pola\u0144ski\u2019s<\/strong> career. The film received the Grand Jury Prize and the prestigious FIPRESCI award at the Venice Film Festival, the first trophies in a decade for the Polish filmmaker at the event.<\/p>\n An Officer and a Spy<\/span><\/em> tells a story based on the life of Alfred Dreyfus, a French officer sentenced to life imprisonment for treason and sent into exile. Soon after Dreyfus’s imprisonment, Georges Picquart, the new head of intelligence, discovers that evidence against the convict has been fabricated. Opposing his superiors, Picquart decides to reveal the truth at all costs. What is at stake is not only Picquart’s brilliantly started career, but also a great international scandal that would change the course of history. The cast includes Oscar\u00ae winner Jean Dujardin<\/strong> (The Artist<\/em><\/span>, The Wolf of Wall Street<\/span><\/em>), Louis Garrel<\/strong> (The Dreamers<\/em><\/span>), and Emmanuelle Seigner<\/strong> (Venus in Fur<\/em><\/span>). The director of photography is the outstanding Polish cameraman Pawe\u0142 Edelman<\/strong>, known for The Pianist<\/span><\/em>, who regularly cooperates with Pola\u0144ski.<\/p>\n Roman Pola\u0144ski<\/strong> tells the story of one of the biggest scandals in history. I have long wanted to make a film about the Dreyfus case, not as a costume drama, but as a spy film. This way I could show the similarities between the historical scandal and what is happening in today’s world: persecution of minorities, absurd security measures, secret military tribunals, out-of-control intelligence agencies, concealing facts by governments, creating fake news, and a furious press<\/em>. The perfectly narrated intrigue shows a system in which the self-winding hate spiral begins to resemble the present times. An Officer and a Spy<\/em><\/span> is a film about how history repeats itself, and how one man fighting for justice against everyone else can change the course of history.<\/p>\n \n \n The premiere screening will be held on 9th November<\/span> in the Festival Centre in CKK Jordanki in Toru\u0144<\/strong>, and will be a part of EnergaCAMERIMAGE 2019 Opening Gala<\/strong>, to which you need an invitation.
