Trivia / The Promised Land

• All-Star Cast: The film pretty much stars the creme-de-la-creme of contemporary Polish actors, often in purely episodic roles.
• Magnum Opus Dissonance: Andrzej Wajda considered it his best work; he lamented that the allegations of anti-Semitism drawn against it smeared the film's reputation too much to let it stand on its own merit. Meanwhile, in Poland the film passed without much echo, as Wajda was already renowned and the film was too much of a period piece compared to his other, addressing more up-to-date issues, works.
• Overshadowed by Controversy: Worldwide, at least. In Poland the supposed anti-Semitism of the film is mostly brought up in context of its foreign reception.
