You can compare it with Steven Spielberg's WAR HORSE, very close speaking of topic, story. I don't think this is a very well known Andrej Wajda's movie but it's definitely worth. Impressive scenes, such as the German invasion, with tanks crushing everything, men horses...And this scheme of the "bad luck" horse who means death for anyone riding him. It reminds me an Anthony Mann's western, doesn't it? It seems there are many things not that accurate but I don't care. That doesn't remove anything to this beautiful, powerful, gripping story made by a future giant of the Polish film industry, and not only.
