Electra, My Love

October 14, 2016 Pam Jahn

Miklós Jancsó’s richly inventive 1974 adaptation of the Greek myth sends an oblique political message.

Dragon’s Return

August 23, 2015 Pam Jahn

Eduard Grečner’s film is reminiscent of The Seventh Seal, with its timeless bond with the cycles of nature and local superstition.

Fruit of Paradise

April 29, 2015 Pam Jahn

Released after the crushing of the Prague Spring, Chytilová’s 1970 follow-up to Daisies is as visually inventive but much darker in tone.

Alice

June 2, 2011 VirginieSelavy

Larks on a String

March 19, 2011 VirginieSelavy

Daisies

June 4, 2009 VirginieSelavy

But their insubordination is not just an act of female resistance against patriarchal society: V?ra Chytiloví¡’s Daisies (1966) is more Dada than women’s lib, and the two Maries are above all non-conformist individuals, outsiders to the grinding machinery of society.

May 1, 2008 VirginieSelavy 1 Comment

Jan Němec’s film is an engaging yarn about a small group of bourgeois people who set off for a picnic and soon find themselves in rather sadistic and perplexing company.
