Battlestar Galactica
Things have been quiet on the Warsaw Dark front for a while but a recent search just turned up some fantastic new materials from the Christopher Doyle directed, real life political assassination film. First of all the official website is now up and running, though currently only in Polish. An English version is coming soon. Second, and more interestingly, Europa Net is now hosting a series of behind the scenes videos, including interviews with Doyle himself, his DOP and some of the actors plus a tasty behind the scenes reel. Very nice stuff.
Warsaw by night, a restaurant by the river. Ojka, young and beautiful “call girl” runs out to the parking lot. Lured by her charm, an aging politician follows her. He doesn’t realize, that Ojka is only a bait, and he himself is in a few minutes going to die. That’s how Warsaw Dark begins, a political thriller with a strong erotic motive.
This film features a world where business pervades politics, there are no fair rules of the game, and anyone who has entered this matrix is marked forever. To some, this world will be a story in its own right, and to others, however, merely a backdrop of a big love. The plot is based on the sensational, authentic, yet so far unresolved case of the mysterious murder of Jacek Dębski, the one-time boss of he Polish Ministry of Sports and Tourism, in 2001.

This is definitely a must-see film. Doyle is using a DP? Interesting.
