Wyklety (2017)
Particularly realistic partisan fights
A film based on historical facts. The film is exquisitely made one of the best Polish films of recent years. Particularly realistic partisan fights. The main character spent 18 years in the woods WOW this weekend in the forest is an adventure. Great plus for fighting scenes, murders and torture. Not for children. The film shows how communism in Poland came into the lives of the occupied people and how it fought against the Poles who did not surrender to the occupant.
Wolyn (2016)
To understand this film properly you need some historic background
To understand this film properly you need some historic background.
"Wolyn (Volhynia) is historic region where poles and Ruthenians lived peacefully for centuries until 2nd World War
In interbellum period in Poland unfortunately won the idea of unity - Ukrainians and Belorussians was to be assimilated into Polish culture (there was project of creating Polish, Belorussian and Ukrainian separated states in confederation) Ukrainians responded with violence.
And film starts when this period is about to end. Firstly Russians witch to this date see Ukraine as "little Russia" in a derogatory way) and next Germans which promised own state to Ukrainians.
Ukraine had seen Hitler as they savior in a way. Organisation born from this feelings decided that Wolyn must be ethnically cleansed to ensure Ukrainian nature of this region in future. "
