Pilsudski

Poland has for years sat at the fault line between the east and west , between communism and capitalism, between Russia and Germany , between catholic and orthodox . Most of my fellow English countrymen probably know little more than it being the country that Nazi Germany invaded on 1/9/39 thus precipitating WW2.

I like to think I know more but I didn't know about Pilsudski

His rise to power was not unlike that of Ataturk or Castro.

An agitator , a terrorist , a hero , a liberator , a rebel , a survivor , a conundrum .

The biopic was a sensitive portrayal and showed the good and the bad , the affairs , the killings , the hared of an occupying foreign power , the patriotism and the political battles fought along side the physical battles .

In my experience 90% of Polish films far surpass that churned out by Hollywood , long may they continue , don't be frightened of subtitles 10 minutes you'll be reading subconsciously

Well worth seeing , you're feel educated :)
