Biography
Biography
He later made the documentaries Süden (2008) and Papirosen (2011), both of which were critically acclaimed. His breakthrough came with Kékszakállú (2016), his first narrative feature, which depicted the coming-of-age tale of a circle of adolescent girls in Buenos Aires. The film was screened in the Orizzonti section at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival, yet did not win any awards. It was later shown at festivals in Rotterdam, New York, Vancouver and Thessaloniki. Solnicki's film The Souffleur, starring Willem Dafoe, was released in 2025.
