Product: Pan Tadeusz (2000)
Rating: 4.0
A great historical film, but sometimes a bit slow
This is a fantastic historical film of Adam Mickiewicz's epic poem, Pan Tadeusz, which deals with the petty squabbles of two noble families before Napoleon's invasion of Russia and how they come together to fight against the Russians. The cinematography was very beautiful and you really get a sense of the landscape. Other people have given the plot synopsis, so I'll just mention that it was very engaging. However, I'm sure it's better if you've already read the poem. I have to admit I haven't. Sometimes the narrative was a bit difficult to follow, and it is true that there were some over long scenes. Sometimes there were typos in the English subtitles. However, despite these issues, it is a film worth seeing, even for those who haven't read the poem.
