Moonlighting (1982)
Country: GB
Technical: col 97m
Director: Jerzy Skolimowski
Cast: Jeremy Irons, Eugene Lipinski, Jiri Stanislaw
Synopsis:
A Polish contractor oversees a group of clandestine labourers on a building project for a government official. His mastery of the language confers on him a position of power, but he is ultimately powerless to conceal from his workmen the seismic events taking place in the homeland.
Review:
Skolimowski cleverly uses Nowak's position, strong but illegitimate, as a synecdoche for that of the Polish regime, and Irons slots into the unfamiliar casting impressively in what proved to be a key year for him.
