Andrzej Wajda's "Promissed Land"

In this film Andrzej Wajda, the director, presents the clockwork of the city of Lódź. It is almoust a living creature, characterised by a dynamic development. The three heroes /manifest/ certain moral and social attitudes which were typical for that time and place. It is through them that we can discover three completely different groups of people sharing the space of the same city: the Germans, the Jews and the Poles. The other plots of the film take us to some of the best hidden and the most appalling secrets of Lódź. This extremely es pressive picture of the gianty which seems to be directly extracted of some apocaliptie vision is one of the most convincing and artisticly perfect masterpieces of the Polish cinema.

This extraadihary mood of nothing but Baudlaire's „Carrion" is completed by excellent performances of the three young actors:
1 Daniel Olbrychski as Karol Borowiecki
2 Wojciech Pszoniak as Moryc Welt
3 Andrzej Seweryn as Max Baum
and the unforgettable role of Kalina Jedrusik as Lucy Zucker.
