Synopsis
How I Fell in Love with a Gangster (Jak pokochałam gangstera, 2022) is a Polish crime biopic you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Maciej Kawulski. The subject is Nikodem "Nikoś" Skotarczak — a street kid from the Tri-City area who climbed through the chaos of Poland's post-communist transition to become one of the country's most powerful criminal figures.
The story is told through a woman who knew him intimately, her voice threading through decades of his rise. Tomasz Włosok plays the young Nikoś, carrying both the charisma that drew people in and the volatility that kept them afraid. At 179 minutes, the film takes its time: money, turf disputes, shifting alliances and the long, slow narrowing of options that comes with that kind of life.
Kawulski leans into the epic gangster tradition — this is not a lean thriller but a saga with room to breathe. Drawn from a true story. Stream How I Fell in Love with a Gangster (2022) online on iFILM.
