Now we’re getting into it. This is the real deep-level Criterion Collection stuff here. Legendary - but largely unknown in the U.S. - all-time Czech historic cinema: František Vláčil's 1967 medieval epic Marketa Lazarova.  Feuding clans must contend with themselves, the Holy Roman Empire, and the occasional mad Christian preacher. Have we found our first hidden gem, or is this the first sign that we’ve doomed ourselves to 899 or so perplexing art films of questionably-earned reputations?  If you'd like to watch ahead fro next week's film, we'll be reviewing and discussing Stephen Frears My Beautiful Laundrette (1985).

Czechtember 2018 continues with a discussion of František Vláčil’s Marketa Lazarova.  Based on the book by Vladislav Vančura, the film is an epic tale of fighting tribes in the 13th Century in the area that would become Czechoslovakia.  The film is named after the maiden Marketa Lazarova who befalls one of the many brigands in the sweeping, beautiful, black and white film.

Episode 382: Marketa Lazarova (1967)

Aufbruchstimmung im tschechischen Kino der 60er Jahre: traditionelle Erzählkonventionen werden auch in diesem schwarz-weißen Mittelalter-Epos aufgebrochen. Augenzwinkernd und traumwandlerisch setzt sich eine grotesk-eisige Welt zusammen, bevölkert von gierigen und verrohten Menschenwesen. Lauscht unserer Verwirrung und Sinnsuche – wir kapitulieren mit vielen Worten und huldigen den überwältigenden Cinemascope-Bildern um so mehr.
