Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Released weeks before Poland's 2004 EU accession, the counterfeit Euro plot literalizes anxieties about joining a system they couldn't trust.

Trivia

Director Maciej Dejczer shot guerrilla-style in actual police stations; several extras were off-duty officers who'd consulted on real counterfeit cases.
