Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Laura or The Big Sleep, start here.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 34 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Polish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1969: an older pace and style.

Retired police captain Siwy recounts to a reporter how he undertook a final, private investigation into the suspicious death of Ewa Salm, known as “Princess.” Though her testimony had secured a conviction, Siwy doubted the man’s guilt and set out to uncover the real killer—risking his own life to see justice done.
