Andrzej Wajda made a beautiful movie based on a very hard material. It used to be considered impossible to bring Mickiewicz's "Pan Tadeusz" to the screen, but Wajda pulled it off with a great success. He proved once again that his Oscar was not a mistake. Audience in countries which at one time or another had to struggle to regain independence will have no difficulty following one of the main ideas of the movie. The other one is easier to identify with for everyone: the longing for wonderful times and places long gone, which now only exist in our memories. Wajda truly shines as a moviemaker and artist in this movie. Acting is magnificent, cinematography and costumes splendid. However, it appeals strongly to the romantic Polish soul, and to sentiments and events that can only be understood with a deeper knowledge of the history of the country. As such, the film will be harder to follow for non-Polish audience. I believe this movie was a personal challenge for Wajda and he did a great job. Lovers of machine gun fire and exploding cars have nothing to look for here.
