Great movie! I hope that this movie will open the west's eyes on this massacre, though Franklin D. Roosevelt and W. Churchill knew about it (I recommend the book "A question of honor").
Mr. "Mythbreaker" is BTW clearly out of line in his comments which are purely political regarding this movie. At a recent visit of the Polish PM, Russia's President Mr. V. Putin admitted that the Katyn massacre was a Stalinist crime.
In addition the movie shows that Wajda's aim was not to disgrace the Russians (you will see that in the movie, don't want to spoil). I think the movie rather shows how cruel people can get.
The bad news: These kind of massacres still happen (see Rwanda, Sudan etc.)
Katyn deserves an Oscar!!!!!
