Trailer drops for Katyn massacre drama Gorky Resort
A trailer has been released for Gorky Resort: The Duel, a Polish-Ukrainian-Irish co-production about resistance to totalitarian rule, set for wide theatrical release on Sept. 10.
A trailer has been unveiled for Gorky Resort: The Duel, a cinematic tale of Polish-Ukrainian cooperation in the fight against totalitarianism. Set against the backdrop of the 1939 Soviet invasion of Poland, the film explores the tragic Katyn massacre, when Soviet forces captured Polish nobility and held them captive in a hastily converted sanatorium-turned-prisoner-of-war camp.
The story revolves around a tense psychological standoff between Karol Grabowski, a Polish pianist portrayed by Jakub Gierszał, and an NKVD secret police agent, played by Irish actor Aidan Gillen.
The film, a Polish-Ukrainian-Irish co-production, will hit theaters across Poland on September 10. Ukrainian cast members include Viktor Zhdanov, Hryhorii Horobchuk, Daria Polunina, and Artem Manuilov, while Ukrainian costume designer Hala Otenko and Serhii Lavreniuk served as producer. Lavreniuk emphasized the film's significance in the shared history of Ukraine and Poland, stating that it highlights a crucial chapter often targeted by contemporary information warfare.
As tensions between Russia and Ukraine simmer, the film serves as a timely reminder of the struggle against Russian aggression, a theme that resonates even today in the ongoing battle for regional stability.
