What Big Shar Is About
An ageing gambler comes out of prison and goes back to the only trade he knows: cheating at the poker table. He takes on a young taxi driver and teaches him the craft. The boy learns fast and wants a share of the big score. But in this line of work the distance between pupil and master does not always stay the same. Sylwester Chęciński's film was one of the most watched Polish productions of 1983 and reached more than two million viewers. Jan Nowicki plays the master gambler. It is set in the Poland of the eighties and describes the short cuts to money, a world that sits outside what is legal. It won the Golden Duck award the following year.
