Pan Tadeusz

The movie Pan Tadeusz directed by Andrzej Wajda is based on the national epic poem of Poland written in 1834 by Adam Mickiewicz. The original poem is considered by many to be the last great epic poem in European literature. Pan Tadeusz recounts the story of two feuding noble families, and the love between Tadeusz Soplica (the title character) of one family, and Zosia of the other. Another subplot involves a spontaneous revolt of the local inhabitants against the occupying Russian garrison.
