An Officer and a Spy 2019 Movie. An Officer and a Spy (French: J'accuse) is a 2019 French-Italian historical drama film directed by Roman Polanski about the Dreyfus affair, with a screenplay by Polanski and Robert Harris based on Harris's 2013 novel of the same name.
It had its premiere at the 76th Venice International Film Festival on 30 August 2019, winning the Grand Jury Prize. It received 12 nominations for the 45th César Awards, the most nominations of any eligible film, and eventually won the awards for Best Adaptation, Best Costume Design, and Best Director.
An Officer and a Spy is Polanski's first film to be shot after he was expelled from the AMPAS under the new "ethical standards" of the post-Me Too era. The director's perceived impunity in Europe in that regard made the release of the film and the accolades it won in Italy and France controversial.
