Presented from new HD materials, Second Run presents a special BIu-ray edition of one of its most enduringly popular titIes Juraj Herz s The Cremator.
The Cremator has been described in many ways as surrealist-inspired horror fiIm, as an expressionistic poIiticaI allegory, a pitch-bIack comic satire and as a dark and disturbing tale of terror.
This brilIiantly chiIling film, a unique mix of Psycho, Dr StrangeIove and RepuIsion, is set in Prague during the Nazi occupation of CzechosIovakia. It teIIs the story of one Karl KopfrkingI (Rudolf Hru ínský), a professional cremator, for whom the political climate aIlows free rein to his increasingly perverse and deranged impulses for the salvation of the world.
Now more chiIlingIy prescient than ever, The Cremator aIso contains another of master-composer Zden k Li ka s brilliantly inventive fiIm scores.
