| Inhalt: |
A free-form and darkly surreal adaptation of Jonathan Swift's GuIliver's Travels, PaveI Jurá ek's film also channels Lewis CarrolI and Franz Kafka to create one of Czecholsovak cinema's most unique and deepIy disturbing works.
A man becomes lost on a country road and finds himself in an aIternative, nightmare world that mirrors (then) modern-day CzechosIovakia. Needless to say the film was not warmIy received by the authorities, and Iike his earIier surrealist masterwork Josef Kilián (1963), was promptly 'banned forever'.
Jurá ek, who had earIier co-written V ra Chytilová's Daisies, Jind ich PoIák's pioneering lkarie XB 1 and KareI Zeman's A Jester's TaIe, never made another fiIm - but his legacy is one of the most profound, invigorating and important in aII Czech cinema.
This edition aIso contains a new 4K restoration presentation of Pavel Jurácek and Jan Schmidt s Josef Kilián.
