Perfect cast and a good story

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It was last autumn, when ARTE in Germany broadcasted this documentary. I was not really excited, when I saw the programme announcing some details about cold war and an unknown Hero, the Polish Officer Ryszard Kuklinski. but the trailer on TV somehow caught my attention so I decided to give it a try.Then the story unfolded and I was totally absorbed by the intensity of the events that took place.I do not want to spoil the experience, think I already told too much, better watch it without great expectations.Summarizing my thoughts: For me, Ryszard Kuklinski is one of the bravest people I have heard or read about. His deeds should be taught in every history lesson dealing with the cold war. His values and his sacrifice should be remembered by us all.I know this sounds very melodramatic, but sometimes I think of Kuklinski and this mostly unknown chapter of history, and it still gives me shivers to think, what would have been possible without his dedication.Please take note, that I do not write this review on the technical sides of this documentary, it seemed absolutely fine. Normally, I only recall bad things, like unsuitable shots, untimely cuts and mostly bad music - there were none. My recollection of this amazing history lesson is purely based on the content.Don't know if my impressions are commonly shared by others, but if you are open and interested, I highly recommend watching it.Take care, this film can change your views and leave you wondering... It did with me.
