About Lotna
Set in the beginning of World War II, when the Polish cavalry still fought with lances against German troops, the movie is about a white thoroughbred horse that passed through various hands in a military outfit.
Directed by Andrzej Wajda, Lotna leans on a strong ensemble — Jerzy Pichelski, Adam Pawlikowski, Jerzy Moes — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1959.
