STÍN KAPRADINY (1986) dir. František Vláčil After the murder of a gamekeeper who catches them red-handed having just downed a deer, two young poachers, conceited Ruda and shy Václav go on the run and retreat into a forest that grows steadily more forbidding and deadly as their fear for the future—and guilt over their action—mounts. Based on the only extensive prose work by the surrealist painter Josef Capek. (link in title)

THE CREMATOR (1969) Directed by Juraj Herz Cinematography by Stanislav Milota

Half dark comedy, half psychological horror, fully uncomfortable. Banned for decades during Soviet rule, this Czechoslovakian film set in the onset of Nazi occupation follows the natural conclusion of the corrupting powers of conformity and the cognitive tricks we play on ourselves to justify our alignment to evil.
