The new black and white adaption, directed and produced by Václav Marhoul, premiered during the Venice festival, is based on the controversial novel by Jerzy Kosiński of the same name in which he falsely claimed he was the victim of WWII atrocities during his childhood.

To help celebrate the big day (October 22nd), TFN’s Jacek Borowski caught up with the legendary jazz vocalist to chat about music, love and happiness.
