Battle of Warsaw - 1920
9 October 2011
Warning: Spoilers
It's not often I get to see a film from Poland. The 3D was quite good and overall I enjoyed the film.

The first world war is over; people are enjoying the peace. But the Red Army is approaching and Lenin has ideas of world revolution.

The polish people united to resist and stopped them outside Warsaw. In part this is a love story as well as a history lesson. We follow two newly married people caught up in the conflict. We sway back and forth from the front-lines, back to Warsaw, as the Red Army pushes east.

With some of the story being told in song in a nightclub a little in Moscow and at the front, we learn a little of the politics of the time.

Some of the blood hits the screen people shot but overall there is little to make people squirm. Both genders will enjoy it as it's not all battle scenes. Well made, well acted, with some humour, and a little romance. Worth seeing. Just under two hours.
