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.

Hi, suwi! Do you know the following films by any chance? They're old but I like them a lot and thought maybe you might enjoy them,too. I could also see any of these characters drawn in your style. Somehow something about them reminds me of your art (which I love btw): Valerie and her week of wonders (1970), Dinner for Adele (1977), The Mysterious Castle in the Carpathians (1981) & Morgiana (1972). It wasn't intentional but I think they're also all originally in Czech. Ok. Have a nice day! bye :)

Hey! I'm answering this terribly late but thanks for asking! I think it's the "being Czech" part that reminds you of my art :') I know the movies though I've never seen Valerie and her week of wonders nor Morgiana. But Dinner for Adele and The Mysterious Castle in the Carpathians are both great, yeah 😁 There is a lot of really good and strange old Czechoslovakian movies, if anyone wants some tips just ask ✨

Ostre sledované vlaky (1966), dir. Jirí Menzel

Чехословацкая комедия о не самом радостном периоде в жизни страны. Юный герой устраивается на непыльную работу станционного служащего и безуспешно пытается ухлестывать за противоположным полом. Его мысли поглощены девочками и немного поездами, которые ходят тут редко. А за кадром - война. Чехия оккупирована нацистской Германией.

Для меня - слишком легкомысленно. Герои весь фильм дистанцируются от происходящего, как будто их это не касается. Какое нам дело до Гитлера? Пускай себе воюет, а мы отдохнем. И это отношение, конечно, с фигой в кармане. Но как так жить, я не представляю.
