Katyn

Veteran Polish director Andrzej Wajda returns with this drama to shed light on of the darkest moments in the history of his country where 22,000 Polish officers were massacred by the Soviets after Hitler and Stalin invaded and annexed Poland to their territories. After the war the Soviets blamed the Nazis for the massacre and silenced anybody who tried to reveal the truth. Wajda puts a human face to the tragedy of a dark era that haunted Poland for a long time. The film is otherwise a conventional in the vain of many classics of the era where cinema serves history.
