FROM POLAND, CORPUS CHRISTI GOES TO OSCARS

Washington: Poland has selected Jan Komasa’s gripping religious drama Corpus Christi as its entry for the Best International Feature Film category at the 2020 Academy Awards.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the story is based on true incidents, where a young man, who happens to be a criminal, starts portraying himself as a priest.

The incident made people question religious belief and what it is to be a man. The movie which stars Bartosz Bielenia is produced by Aneta Hickinbotham and Leszek Bodzak.

Corpus Christi was internationally premiered at the Venice International Film Festival. There the film won the Edipo Re Award and Europa Cinemas Label Award. — ANI
