In Reply to: have you seen the Promised Land posted by Ruben on February 15, 2004 at 16:29:37:
I think I might have seen, long ago, but the memory is so vague I will look for it again.Of course every Wajda's film is worth viewing.
In the meantime I rented another Polish film - Kariera Nikodema Dyzmy... well... well... the only bright spot in it is the gorgoues Polish women... young and in their, shall we say... VERY natural beauty.
For that alone I recommend it 9you will want to use your Pause button... he-he) - but otherwise quite unremarkable.
Follow Ups:
Where did you rent it? It is not in DVD or VHS according to Amazon. Netflix does not have it. Do you want to tell us more about this movie?
RubenSan Francisco, California
I guess sometimes Amazon falls behind.The film is basically a kaka, or guvno, in Polish, a lame satire on the recent Polish internal events and politics, with a grave digger raising suddenly and for no good reason to the rank of PM.
The Poles HAVE made much better films.
After buying hundreds of titles in Germany and on you request I check the rental possibility here in Germany...On NO one I could only find a Ingmar film!
Now we are fully McDonalysed.
CD= Hit parade.
Video= Hit parade.
Move to Delaware - the last remaining oasis of good rentals in the sea of cacarella!No Ingmar? You know, Patrick, Bruce Willis is just as good... and don't forget - there's always the LOTR for your truly dark days!
But the good news came just in! My employee has NO metastases!
So I am cooling the champ. and making a rissoto.and..and....It is getting harder and harder to find good films, and I wonder where do we will have to look at in the future, Iran?
I had for sometimes wishfull thinking for Irland...but the result is meager...
On films... truth is I haven't seen perhaps 80% of good films that exist. More and more old ones get released these days. Today I may be able to rent 4 Gabin's films, but that number is growing.And good movies are still being made every day, in the US as well as the rest of the world. Ireland included.
So I don't see much reason to feel depressed.
BTW - your link nearly killed my computer - there seems to be something in it - maybe AuPh sabotaged it?
Curious! I can go to this link without having any kind of problems.
It must be AuPh..Or Dmitry, has he seems to have a very BAD mood..At least with me..
