Sherlock Holmes i Ludzie Jutra

From The Arthur Conan Doyle Encyclopedia
Sherlock Holmes i Ludzie Jutra (2014)

Sherlock Holmes i Ludzie Jutra (Sherlock Holmes ans the People of Tomorrow) is a Polish independant movie written and directed by Tomasz Gwincinski in 2014. 106 minutes. Format 2k dcp, frame aspect ratio 2.39, sound 5.1.

According to Joanna Gwincinska (5 august 2014): The film itself is highly metaphorical and is not based on any book of Sir Conan Doyle. I took only the name of Sherlock and used it in a title. The film and the script, which I wrote, is totally my own author vision. However, Sherlock is a character in the movie but not a main one. Nowadays in Poland people are leading an investigation about the Smolensk catastrophe and the film relates to that. We are fans of Sherlock Holmes and that is why the director and the author of the script wanted Sherlock to be a part of it.
