Audience Member Three young friends, a Pole, a German, and a Jew, decide to join forces and open a textile factory. Due to lack of money, they have to cope in various ways, at any cost, using all the means and without regard to social or moral norms, as well as the fate of other people, including those closest to them. The plot takes place in the last years of the XIX century, in the Polish industrial city of Lodz. The realism with which Wajda shows dirty, smoky city, dangerous factories, the brutal capitalist logic and wretched working class in poverty, on the verge of life and death, is worthy of Charles Dickens, Emile Zola or Maxim Gorky.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member i would always stuck with the mentalilty, its not working with cenima, i knew, cenima is Hormones, cenima is Passions, but i always try to be rational though i realy realy going on with my feeling deeply, its idealistic, yeah thats how we should watch the movies * its a great movie, the camera, Wajda tried hard to put the camera on the faces, to see how they react, how thier emotions produced and pushed out, he was about to inter his character by his camera actually. i loved that. the movie is leftist yeah, its passion, it humanistic, no matter how i reject that losers ideology. Wajda is a real Beauty Creature. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Wajda is an exciting director, seemingly attracted to and impassioned by all matter of human circumstance and experience. He ceaselessly seems to capture the most intimate, most urgent of images with his hand-held cam genius. The Promised Land is an epic conveyance of all of this.
