Hands Up! (1981) watch online

Hands Up! (Polish: Ręce do góry) is a Polish drama film directed by Jerzy Skolimowski. It is the third of a series of semi-autobiographical films in which Skolimowski himself plays his alter ego Andrzej Leszczyc. Originally filmed in 1967, Hands Up! was banned at the time in communist Poland because it critiqued Nazism in Poland, the Stalinist past in post-World War II Poland, and the socio-political climate in sixties Poland. The communist authorities not only banned the film, but also effectively sent Skolimowski into a lengthy exile.

It wasn't until 14 years after the original film was made that Polish censors allowed it to be re-edited with recent footage as an introduction. This released version was screened out of competition at the 1981 Cannes Film Festival. However, it was shelved in Poland and not screened there until 1985.
