Review of Marketa Lazarová (1967) by James-Masaki R — 07 Oct 2010
The greatest Czech film ever made is an epic literary adaptation of "Marketa Lazarova", which to most non-Czech is completely unknown. The film is also epic in length and shown in 3 parts, and it was a little daunting going into it not knowing the story at all.
I might have been a little confused at the story at times, but Vlacil's direction was what I was completely enamored with. Amazing black and white cinematography, war violence and nudity, and vast amazing Czech landscapes pull it all together.
Maybe it's time to research more on the original story....
