DIRECTOR
An original 1966 (from the first release of this movie in France) large sized (
"Grande"
) vintage French poster for the movie -
"Lotna" -
released in English-speaking countries as
"Speed",
the 1959 Andrzej Wajda Polish World War II military cavalry melodrama. The movie shows Polish cavalrymen attacking German tanks, which was a complete myth, but was surely stirring while making!
This highly symbolic film is both the director's tribute to the long and glorious history of the Polish cavalry, as well as a more ambiguous portrait of the passing of an era. Wajda was the son of a Polish Cavalry officer who was murdered in the Katyn massacre.The horse Lotna represents the entire Romantic tradition in culture, a tradition that had a huge influence in the course of Polish history and the formation of Polish literature. Lotna is Wajda's meditation on the historical breaking point that was 1939, as well as a reflection on the ending of an entire era for literature and culture in Poland and in Europe as a whole. Writing of the film, Wajda states that it "held great hopes for him, perhaps more than any other." Sadly, Wajda came to think of Lotna "a failure as a film."The film remains highly controversial, as Wajda includes a mythical scene in which Polish horsemen suicidally charge a unit of German tanks, an event that never actually happened.
