Operation Hyacinth

An absolute amazing thriller with breathtaking cinematography and visual language. Acting, screenplay, production are all impeccable. Very timely film actually making me jealous for not being Polish so I can appreciating it even more.

What an underrated gem of a movie!

I unexpectedly discovered a well-crafted, polished, serious thriller with a noir plot.

There are many noteworthy sound effects, like the subtle buzzing of electricity and the sound of paper rustling.

I have to say, I really admire the second male lead – he’s so foolish and naive, which makes me believe the movie must be based on a true story.

The protagonist’s perspective is unique, and the historical backdrop contrasts strongly with the story’s content.

A really thrilling ride through a dark passage in Polish history. Script, acting, production all well above average. Ends with a bang.
