I loved this film!


The Czechoslovakian New Wave at its best. I'll have to see it a couple more times to get it all, since the disjointed cuts and my attention span are at odds with each other, and there is so much symbolism. I couldn't take my eyes off the film, which presented a problem when I needed to pee (I saw this on TV). The cinematography is stunning, atmospheric and zen. The script is minimalist, as the predominant reliance is on images.

It's available on YouTube with English subtitles.

If you love this, also see The White Dove.
