😸
Edition screened: Second Run DVD #076, released 2013. Polish language with English subtitles. Runtime approximately 163 minutes.
Summary: No particular depictions of violence or harm to animals.
An exceptionally good film in every way. Visually sumptuous, historically accurate, and socially provocative. Of the numerous compelling themes in The Promised Land, one echoes The Godfather’s portrayal of how business practices and professional etiquette shift as a new generation comes into power.
