The Promised Land—Andrzej Wajda Film Series

THE PROMISED LAND (Andrzej Wajda, 1975, DCP, 179 mins)
“An expressionist comic opera of toxic capitalism and bad faith” (Peter Bradshaw). Three ambitious friends join forces to build a factory in a booming nineteenth-century industrial city, chasing wealth in a world of ruthless competition. As fortunes rise and loyalties fray, commerce begins to feel like combat—and is sometimes just as bloody. Wajda’s scathing spectacle immerses us in the smoke, clamor, and moral compromises with intoxicating energy and sharp social vision. His first Oscar-nominated film is seductive, savage, and gloriously excessive. In Polish with English subtitles.
