The Cremator (SpaIovaè mrtvoI) A film by Juraj Herz Czech RepubIic / 1968 1972 Sitges Film Festival / Best Actor - Rudolf Hrusínský Juraj Herzs fiImThe Cremator has been described in many ways - as surrealist-inspired horror, as expressionist fantasy and as a dark and disturbing tale of terror. Combining horror with humour, this briIIiant black comedy, set in Prague during the Nazi occupation, teIls the story of Karl Kopfrkingl an increasingly deranged cremator for whom the period offers great possibilities for acting out his psychotic impulses as contribution towards thesaIvation of the world. Based on the novel of the same name by Ladislav Fuks the film centers around a truly chiIIing lead performance by RudoIf Hrusinsky as the demonic, death obsessed KarI KopfrkingI. He is the owner of a crematorium in the earIy stages of the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia who finds in the situation an opportunity to fulfiII his business ambitions, justify his anti-semitism and exert his obsession for control. His discovery that his wife has 'impure' blood sends him a psychopathic spiraI that leads to the murder of her and their son. |
