based on the poem by Polish national poet Adam Mickiewicz
Perhaps the greatest box office success of Wajda's career, Pan Tadeusz is a lavish period drama based on the 19th-century epic poem by Adam Mickiewicz, considered by many to be one of the greatest works of Polish literature. Set in Lithuanian Poland during the Napoleonic wars, the story concerns a feud between two families of Polish gentry living under Russian rule. Heartbreak, violence and vengeance all emerge as the community waits to see whether Napoleon's invasion of Russia will lead to the restoration of Polish statehood.
