Kryminał (2009)
An attempt to combine the aesthetics of film and pop-art comics in the form of 2D and 3D animation. The film is a variation on the theme of a black crime story. As befits this convention, there are cynical gangsters robbing gold and a tired hero - a tough cop. Here we have an armed robbery, an apparent friendship and a brutal betrayal, a car chase through the crowded streets of a big city and a shootout in the finale without a happy ending. The whole thing feels like a story straight out of a Chandler novel.
