Jan Komasa’s The Hater won the People's Choice Award when the 2021 winners were announced by the Polish Film Academy during a ceremony at Warsaw's Służewiec Horse Racetrack on Monday night.
The Hater tells the story of a law student who takes a job at a public-relations company where he excels at dirty political games that he is asked to orchestrate on social media.
At last year’s Eagles Awards, Komasa’s Corpus Christi emerged the big winner.
That movie, which tells the story of a young man pretending to be a priest, was named best film, and took 10 other awards at the time, including for best director, best leading and supporting male and female roles, best screenplay, editing and cinematography.
The annual Eagles Awards are now in their 23rd year, celebrating excellence in Polish cinema.
