Oscar nomination honours Polish cinema

The Polish director Agnieszka Holland was nominated for an Oscar for her film In Darkness on Tuesday. The left-liberal news portal Polityka Online is full of praise: "This is wonderful news and confirms that Polish cinema is getting better and better. After Angry Harvest and Europa, Europa this is Holland's third nomination for a film about the Holocaust. But she has reached her artistic peak here and hit the right note by placing the tragic story of the annihilation of the Jews on a broader basis than before. The war crimes were committed by different people driven by different motives. Naturally not all the words of praise should go to the director. Many highly creative Poles worked together on In Darkness. First of all Jola Dylewska should be mentioned - the camerawoman and creator of outstanding images."
