ZIEMIA OBIECANA (Land of Promise) New Version - DVD

"In Andrzej Wajda's 1974 interpretation of a 19th century epic about the sweeping changes in values brought about by the industrial revolution in Poland, three friends decide to build a factory. Their plans are quickly complicated by local politics and one partner's dangerous love affair. Praiseworthy in its physical scope, masterful direction, and fine acting, the film has a strong message of universal truth. This new version of Andrzej Wajda's original masterpiece has been re-edited by the director himself, adding fresh energy to a film that has already proven itself a classic. The picture and sound have been remastered for enhanced quality."
