''Career of Nikos Dyzma'' (also known as ''Kariera Nikosia Dyzmy'' in Polish) is a 2002 Polish film directed by
Jacek Bromski. The film is a mordant contemporary satire loosely based on the 1932 novel
The Career of Nicodemus Dyzma by
Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz, which narrates the story of a crude opportunist from the countryside, whose vulgarity, mistaken by the Polish elite in the capital for canny insight, facilitates his rise through the social and political ranks of the nation. The same novel also inspired the 1979 American film
Being There.
