Polish Film Showcase – “Kos (Scarborn)”

Once upon a time in the Polish Republic… a landmark action drama, based on real events, peppered with black comedy and echoes of Tarantino.

The movie begins in the spring of 1794. General Tadeusz ‘Kos’ Kosciuszko returns to Poland. He plans to start an uprising against the Russians, mobilizing the Polish nobility and peasants to do so.

He is accompanied by a faithful friend and former slave, Domingo and followed by a ruthless Russian captain, Dunin, who wants to capture the general at all costs before he causes a national rebellion.

At the same time, a young peasant, Ignac, a noble bastard, dreams of being given his coat of arms and property by his illegitimate parent, Duchnowski, who includes him in his will just before his death. 

This is not a film about heroism. Nor about the adoration of the homeland. Not in the least about sacrifice. It’s an anti-epic, intimate cinema about the reasons behind Poland’s dismantling for 123 years.
