It is a Polish movie. I saw it long time ago, probably the late seventees. I thought it was great. Some of the very first "art movies" I watched. I was addicted to that director. Here is what IMBD has to say about it:Ziemia obiecana (1974)
A tale of ruthless rise of early industrialists at the turn of the century. It takes place in Lodz, the heart of textile industry at the time. Three school friends, a pole of a noble background, an assimilated Jew, and a German decide to build a textile factory. They exploit the wife of a Jewish merchant in love with the Pole. The affair is uncovered and their factory is burned down. They persevere but soon labor unrests begin.
