Film “Kurier"

Directed by Władysław Pasikowski, 110 min., 2019, Poland. History, action.
His individual operation would decide the fate of Poland and the Second World War. Pursued by all hostile intelligence services, transferred in the middle of the night from Savoy hotel to Żabno, he meets people who would change his life forever. Władysław Pasikowski’s film is a spy story inspired by the secret mission of the famous courier from Warsaw. Exceptional events from Jan Nowak-Jeziorański’s life provide perfect material for a movie script, as underlined by Pasikowski himself: “Our aim is to tell a sensational, yet based on real life, story, which even the James Bond scriptwriters wouldn’t probably make up. At the same time, we wanted to tell it in a maximally modern way, using the achievements of the modern style of adventure and action films,” Władysław Pasikowski, director and scriptwriter of “Kurier”.
