The Promised Land
Directed by Nikolaj Arcel
Denmark, 1755. Captain Ludvig Kahlen sets out to conquer a Danish heath reputed to be uncultivable, with an impossible goal: to establish a colony in the name of the king, in exchange for a royal title. A single-minded ambition that the ruthless lord of the region will relentlessly seek to put down. Kahlen's fate hangs in the balance: will his endevours bring him wealth and honour, or cost him his life...? From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →Mads Mikkelsen makes potato farming totally badass in his new film - an engrossing period piece honeycombed with pulpy action. My review of The Promised Land
positive · AI labelView post →Remembering remarkable, Oscar-nominated master Polish film and theatre director Andrzej Wajda, on his 100th birthday, acclaimed for films including A GENERATION, KANAL, ASHES AND DIAMONDS, LANDSCAPE AFTER THE BATTLE, THE PROMISED LAND, MAN OF IRON, DANTON, and KATYN. He was #BOTD on 3/6/1926
neutral · AI labelView post →Holiday viewing...so far. Tried a film off Barack Obama's fave list -- The Promised Land. The room wasn't happy, so checked to see if Michelle had a list. Nope. So watched Angelina Jolie in "Maria." REALLY good! Followed w/episodes of The Twilight Zone. Merry Xmas/Happy Hanukkah!
negative · AI labelView post →#NowWatching THE PROMISED LAND (2023). Director: Nikolaj Arcel. Mads Mikkelsen, Amanda Collin. Since it's Mads birthday, might as well knock this one off my to-be-viewed list! #filmsky #moviesky 🎥📽🎞🎬
neutral · AI labelView post →run don't walk to your local indie theater to watch The Promised Land, a film that offers everything you could possibly need from the art of cinema: mads mikkelsen, candlelight, gorgeous yet harsh scandinavian landscapes, and a villain as subtle as joffrey targaryen.
positive · AI labelView post →I watched the Danish film “The Promised Land” on BBC 4 last night. Well worth a look if you enjoy depressing and slightly bonkers Scandi-noir movies.
neutral · AI labelView post →Fabulous film The Promised Land on BBC4 tonight. Kind of an 18th century settler western set in Norway with a great storyline, fine acting and one of those perfect endings. Well worth your time if you don’t mind English subtitles
positive · AI labelView post →FILM RECOMMENDATION: Mads Mikkelsen western The Promised Land (2023), aka Bastarden, one of the best films of last year. Available on BBC iPlayer.
positive · AI labelView post →Polish film and stage director Andrzej Wajda (A Generation, Kanal, Ashes and Diamonds, Innocent Sorcerers, Love at Twenty, The Wedding, The Promised Land, Man of Marble, Man of Iron, Danton, Afterimage, Katyn, and more) #TCMParty
neutral · AI labelView post →The writing I'm doing for establishing the state-side story of Goblin: An Ethnography is partially influenced by that Mads Mikkelsen movie "The Promised Land" which is actually a pretty good depiction of many a social and bureaucratic dynamic of European settler colonialism. I recommend it.
positive · AI labelView post →On today's episode looking at minute 74 of the #RedDwarf film, The Promised Land, Mark and Michael talked about Truckers. Awesome children's book by an awesome human.

positive · AI labelView post →5. Peace, Propaganda, & the Promised Land is a 2004 film by Sut Jhally & Bathsheba Ratskoff. This film specifically examines Israeli state PR strategies to invisibilize and legitimize the occupation. 79 minutes of important media literacy ed. I watched a low quality version in full on YouTube.
neutral · AI labelView post →Last night I watched a Danish movie on BBC4, The Promised Land. It was suitably bleak. With the weather beginning to turn, Saturday nights wouldn't feel right if I wasn't sulking after another #SaintsFC EPL defeat with some bleak Nordic noir on #BBC4.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Promised Land was such a hard movie to watch. It was beautiful and devastating and bittersweet, like so many of Mikkelsen's Danish films. I spent most of the movie anxious in the theater expecting yet Another Terrible Thing to happen to him. 🥲 +

positive · AI labelView post →I found this horrible movie called, Joshua and the Promised Land. It’s filled with stiff dialogue and monotone voice acting! It also has questionable things in it when it’s considered to be family friendly. 🤣🤣🤣 It’s so bizarre!

positive · AI labelView post →Watched The Promised Land (original Danish title: Bastarden). I think only Anders Thomas Jensen can write a Western about cultivating potatoes on the Danish heath in the 18th century. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9U1...
positive · AI labelView post →I'd put Season X-XII, plus THE MOVIE ("The Promised Land") way, way above Seasons VII and VIII. It wasn't all hits and the HD needs a little getting used to but those three extra seasons and a movie are a blessing.
