    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The film is criticized by many historians for strengthening a propaganda myth of the Polish cavalry charging German tanks. In fact, the Polish cavalry never charged tanks, leave alone absurd slashing them with sabres. The main tactics of the cavalry was fighting on feet, and there were only several charges against infantry in 1939. On only one occasion, at Krojanty, the cavalry group was surprised by a fire of German armored cars, but did not try to charge them, and got away with moderate losses.

    early Wajda
    A horse. the symbols. the colors. and the war. mixture of themes and images defining the war films from the East of "50. and reflection about fatherland, heroism, illusion and sacrifice, obsession and death. the force of images as the lead pillar of a construction in which the irony and sadness, the traces of fatum and crumbs of magic are together. a portrait of a world. familiar and strange in same measure. at the first sigh, one of many war films from the same period. and far by great movies of Wajda. in fact, one of pictures of a fall of an universe. cold, precise, bitter.
