   Is the Promised Land a good movie?

   • The Promised Land makes for a gripping man-versus-wilderness survival story with unmistakable political undertones, but it’s also nimble enough to allow romance to blossom under its slate-grey skies, when the sweetly abashed Captain catches the eye of his steely new hire (Amanda Collin) and de Schinkel’s poised fiancée (Kristine Kujath Thorp).

   How many movies are in the Promised Land?

   • “The Promised Land” is about ten movies in one. It’s a history lesson with a central figure driven by an impossible quest. There are bands of outlaws, sadistic aristocrats, and downtrodden peasants. There’s a little romance, a lot of torture, as well as a feisty runaway child. Historical epics like this really aren’t made anymore.

   Does 'the Promised Land' really work?

   • It’s a wonder that “The Promised Land” works as well as it does. Directed by Nikolaj Arcel, the film takes place in 18th century Denmark, when agricultural reforms cracked the rigid social hierarchies, where the rich lived in luxury and the “little people” were practically in a state of serfdom.

   Is 'the Promised Land' based on a true story?

   • Ida Jessen’s best-selling novel The Captain and Ann Barbara is the basis for the film adaptation, co-written by Anders Thomas Jensen and Arcel. There has clearly been a lot of fictionalization. It feels like this material could have been a bodice-ripping melodrama in less intuitive hands. But “The Promised Land” has control of its narrative.

   Is the Promised Land a Western?

   • Put a horse and the odd patch of grass in a film and critics will confidently declare that it is really a Western. But there is no doubt whatsoever that The Promised Land is absolutely a Western — even if it is in Danish and set in the 18th century. Nikolaj Arcel’s film fits the time-honoured genre codes perfectly.
