The Consul (Konsul) (1989)

Format: The Consul (Konsul) DVD

Once a swindler, always a swindler--at least, that seems to be the motto of Czeslaw (Piotr Fronczewski), the Polish grifter who can't resist the lure of the con once he's been released from prison. Adopting a false identity, Czeslaw steadily works his way towards larger and larger scams, determined to stay one step ahead of his marks...and the law! Maria Pakulnis, Jerzy Bonczak also star in this witty caper film from Poland. 104 min. Standard; Soundtrack: Polish; Subtitles: English; biographies. In Polish with English subtitles.
