German distributor and world sales company Kinostar has acquired Polish filmmaker Maria Sadowska’s erotic thriller “Temptation.”
Based on the bestselling novel by Edyta Folwarska, “Temptation” tells the story of young journalist Inez, whose assignment to cover soccer star Maks Wygoda leads her onto a dangerous journey.
“Temptation” was produced by Daniel Markowicz of Warsaw-based Lightcraft, who also produced and directed the recent hit Netflix actioner “Lesson Plan,” and executive producers Paulina Nowak and Anita Dabrowska.
“Maria and Daniel are extremely talented, and we are very happy to start working with Lightcraft on this movie, with hopefully many more to follow,” said Kinostar head Michael Roesch.
Sadowska enjoyed a huge box office hit “Girls to Buy,” which saw the second-biggest 2021 opening in Poland after Daniel Craig’s 007 swan song “No Time to Die.” The film follows a young woman who, desperate to escape her small town, becomes an escort...

The lurid title and poster for Girls To Buy, a mostly-subtitled Polish dramatic film, are rather misleading. This tale about sex workers is less erotic than suspenseful, playing out a lot closer to a Scarface than to an Eyes Wide Shut. The screen is filled with attractive women in alluring attire but there’s relatively little sex and nudity, compared to what one might expect from the subject being explored.
For those still interested, the action begins in 1999. Our protagonist, Emi (Paulina Galazka), wants to break into the high-end escort business, rather than spend her life like her mom – running a small drab shop in a small drab village. She finds a mentor with a gorgeous daughter already in the biz and hits the ground running.
