Manhunt is a war thriller, envisioned as a Polish variation on Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards. The complicated plot was designed to show the reality of occupation from a partisan soldier's perspective. Corporal Wydra must face not only Nazi murders but also Polish traitors and his own, dark past. The leading role is played by Marcin Dorociński, awarded for the Best Male Performance during the 2011 Gdynia PFF. He is joined by Maciej Stuhr cast in an unexpectedlt dark character role and Sonia Bohosiewicz, who plays his brilliant and outspoken wife.
{mosimage}"It is hard to find contemporary Polish titles which treat the characters and the story with such an uncommon approach. This is an art perfectly executed by the Americans. They can shoot a wonderful film that moves the audience through the years, about every episode in their history. Manhunt represents this sort of American approach to history," Bohosiewicz told FNE.
