‘Let there be no traces’ to be the Polish candidate for an Oscar
22:29
Leave no traces was chosen a Polish candidate for the Oscar. The film about the murder of Grzegorz Przemyk, directed by Jan P. Matuszyński, was based on the Nike award-winning book by Cezary Łazarewicz. Its promotion will now be done by the same team that led to the nomination of Corpus Christi by Jan Komasa.
We will find out at the beginning of February whether the Polish film will go to the finals and will compete for the Oscar.
In the last ten years, four Polish films have fought for an Oscar: In the Darkness by Agnieszka Holland, Cold War by Paweł Pawlikowski, Corpus Christi of Jan Komasa, and Ida by Pawlikowski. The latter won, being the first Polish full-length film to be awarded the Best Foreign Language Film Award.
Throughout the history of the Oscars, Polish films were nominated twelve times, the first in 1963 being Knife in the Water by Roman Polański.
