Oscar Warm-Up: Goodfellas

Before the world’s eyes turn to Hollywood, join us to celebrate cinema at its finest. “Oscar Warm‑Up” is a time when outstanding productions return to the big screen of Wisła — those that have become part of the Golden Statue’s history and those that spark discussion for years. It’s a space for everyone who prefers to wait for Oscar night in a cinema seat rather than in front of the TV, experiencing stories that remain powerful despite the passage of time.

“Goodfellas” is an absolute milestone of gangster cinema that permanently redefined how criminal worlds are told. Martin Scorsese, with masterful precision and attention to detail, traces the story of Henry Hill, leading the viewer through decades inside mafia structures, where loyalty mixes with brutality and big money with inevitable downfall. Dynamic, pulsating with music and brilliant dialogue, the film is a showcase of cinematic craft with unforgettable performances by Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro and Oscar‑winning Joe Pesci. Although the Academy can be reserved toward brutal crime chronicles, time has shown that this title became a reference point for generations of viewers and one of the most magnetic stories in modern cinema history.
