"Pan Tadeusz"
1999
Directed by Andrzej Wajda
Lavish period drama based on the 19th century
epic poem by Adam Mickiewicz, considered by many to be one of the greatest
works of Polish literature. Set in Lithuania during the Napoleonic era, the
story concerns a feud between two families of Polish gentry living under
Russian rule. A plot rich with heartbreak, violence, combat and vengeance
unfolds as the Polish people wait to see if Napoleon's invasion of Russia
will lead to the restoration of Polish statehood. Polish with English
subtitles. 157 minutes. |
