Reviews:

Poland’s industrialization
I first learned of Andrzej Wajda when he won an honorary Oscar in 2001 (awarded to him by Jane Fonda, whereupon he made his acceptance speech in his native language). In the years since I’ve made an effort to watch his movies. I’ve now seen his Academy Award-nominated “Ziemia obiecana” (“The Promised Land” in English). It’s based on a novel about a Pole, a German and a Jew who make plans to build a factory in Lodz in the late 1800s. We might not think of 1800s Poland as the industrialized society that England or Germany were, but Wajda’s movie makes it look like bastion of raw capitalism that we saw in Charles Dickens’s novels.

The movie reminded me of Martin Ritt’s “Norma Rae” in showing the conditions in the factory – as contrasted with the opulent lives of the owners – and the owners’ reluctance to allowing the workers to form a union. But even beyond that, Wajda’s gift for storytelling and his use of staging to put forth the narrative should rank him alongside Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick as one of the greatest directors of all time (anyone who’s seen “Ashes and Diamonds” or “Canal” can vouch for that). The clever blend of comedy and drama amount to something that you just have to see.

Immersive, though long
The scenes inside the factory are stunning, and the attention to detail to immerse the viewer into the industrial revolution of the 1880’s is impressive. Nothing calls out the excesses of capitalism more than the scene where right after a worker has died in a machine, the foreman tells everyone to get back to work, and moans over the wasted cotton. At 170 minutes, however, the film is too bloated. There are several fine scenes and some great camera work, but they get lost in a meandering story that should have been focused and about half as long.
