Bogdan Khmelnitskiy

Obvious, a propaganda film , in skin of historical fresco. Impressive like many others films by Igor Savchenko, it represents adaptation of Alexander Korneichuk drama.

A war film, good kick to discover the roots of Ukrainean identity, heroic, well crafted, naif in some scenes but nice for the flavors of a time, portrait of heroes, not uninspired frame for fight for freedom, intense in some scenes and, not less, well acted. Nikolai Mordvinov has just the gift to propose a realistic , nuanced portrait of legendary Zaporozhie Cozak Hetman.
