MUČEDNÍCI LÁSKY (1966)

Jon W. — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 09:24:16 +0000

Featuring pop stars Karel Gott and Marta Kubišová (who later became the director’s second wife) in lead roles, with cameos by the two girls from Chytilová’s Daisies and director Lindsay Anderson as traffic policeman, Martyrs of Love is the most perfect embodiment of Němec’s vision of a film world independent of reality. The nearly dialogue-free music comedy about three timid lovers, which combines aesthetics of 1920s silent slapstick cinema with romantic music of the 1960s, cemented the director’s reputation as the kind of unrestrained nonconformist the Communist establishment considered the most dangerous to their ideology.

Writers: Ester Krumbachová, Jan Nemec.

REISENDER KRIEGER (1981) [2008 DIRECTOR’S CUT]

Jon W. — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 07:29:33 +0000

A week in the life of a cosmetics salesman who visits beauty salons to beat his way through the after-work hours. His journey across a wintery Switzerland of grey suburbs and villages takes him via hairdressers shops, hotel rooms and sleezy bars to construction sites and fairs, over snow-covered mountains and through spooky shopping zones back to his home parking lot. He meets people of every stripe, chats, argues and remains silent with them and never gets rid of his silent companion, the melancholy of isolation.

Director: Christian Schocher
Writer: Christian Schocher.
Stars: Willy Ziegler, Max Ramp, Jürgen Zöller, Barbla Bischoff, Heinz Lüdi, Marianne Huber.
Cinematographer: Clemens Klopfenstein.
