Taras Bulba

7/21/2025

After generations of betrayals by their Polish overlords, “Taras Bulba” (Vladimir Medar) and his brotherhood of Cossacks determine that they are going to fight back. His tactics are a bit different, though. Rather than engaging in an head-on battle, he sends his sons “Andrei” (Jean-François Poron) and “Ostapi” (George Reich) to school in Kiev - the heart of their enemy’s territory. Returning as lively adults, familiar with the foibles of the Poles, they are soon ready to head to Lubno and take the battle to their invaders. Unexpectedly, the young “Andrei” is captured and encounters “Natalia” (Lorella De Luca) who just happens to be the daughter of the provincial Governor and with battle lines drawn, this man soon becomes conflicted between his familial loyalties and those to his new love.
