About the film
What it’s about
In 1950s France, Polish émigré Jan Bojarski is a brilliant inventor whose many creations are denied patents, leaving him no professional outlet. Frustrated by a system that blocks his livelihood, he begins forging banknotes with such precision that the Bank of France offers any reward for his capture. He leads a double life, his family unaware, while a determined police inspector hunts him, recognizing his handiwork.
What hooks you
Jean-Paul Salomé directs Reda Kateb as Jan Bojarski and Bastien Bouillon as Inspector André Mattéi. Based on a true story, the film offers a tense cat-and-mouse dynamic.
Who it’s for
It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys crime dramas rooted in real events, tales of ingenuity against the system, and slow-burning tension between a meticulous forger and a relentless detective.
