Subject: 11/04, 1:00 pm, NYC, Brilliant Wajda film on nationalities 
(Germans, Poles, Jews), industrial rev, etc in Lodz ca. 1895

OK, the scheduling is inconvenient, but the film – The Promised Land -- 
is extraordinary. Polish director Andrzej Wajda (remember ‘Man of Iron,’ 
‘… Marble,’ even better ‘Ashes and Diamonds’) brings his political and 
artistic sensibilities to capitalist dealings at the turn of the last 
century in a costume drama, sui generis. Definitely timely, as ‘our’ big 
fish work out their feeding strategies . See filmlinc.com for details. 
(Note film is 168 min long, and there is a punch line at the end you 
won’t want to miss, so develop your story for the boss accordingly, 
e..g., participating in electoral cretinism.)
