Andrzej Munk's Passenger (Pasażerka) has been called 'one of the most audacious fictions ever made about the Holocaust'. Director Munk died in a car crash, aged just 39, in the middle of filming. His friend, Witold Lesiewicz, and his colleagues decided to complete the film to what they believed were Munk's intentions and assembled it using the existing footage, Munk's still photographs and a voice-over narration.
Finally released in 1964, the film won main awards at Cannes and Venice and was described by those who have seen it as an 'unfinished masterpiece'. Unseen for far too long, this is the first-ever DVD release of this unique film anywhere in the world.
