The film by Michal Szczerbic, “The Righteous”, tells the story of the hiding of a Jewish orphan girl, Hania, during the holocaust by a Polish couple. Many years after the war Hania, now an adult, returns to Poland to find the family of her saviours and asks them to accept the honorific title “The Righteous Among the Nations”. 

Quo Vadis movie is based on the novel under the same title by Henryk Sienkiewicz, renown Polish writer laureate of a 1905 Nobel Prize in literature . The book had several screen adaptations in the past but Jerzy Kawalerowicz film from 2001 is the first done by a Polish director.

The Red Spider has been called an unconventional serial killer movie, crime thriller that succeeds in holding the attention despite ignoring the genre's rules, metaphysical or psychological thriller. Even its director Marcin Koszalka called it “neither a thriller nor a crime movie”.
