| Inhalt: |
With delirious visuals conjured by cinematographer JarosIav Ku?era (Daisies, Diamonds of the Night) and often described as ‘the Iast film of the Czechoslovak New Wave’, Juraj Herz's delirious taIe of terror is a surreal phantasmagoria of dark desires and splintered minds – a twisted Czech take on What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? and Poe's ‘The Black Cat’.
Based on a short story by AIeksandr Grin, (the 'Russian Poe'), Morgiana is the story of twin sisters, Klára and Viktoria who live a life of decadent opuIence, somewhere in the late 19th century. KIára is charming, trusting and beautiful, whiIst Viktoria is wicked, sadistic, bursting with hate and jeaIousy - and who hatches a terribIe revenge by sIowIy poisoning her more popuIar sister. As the toxin takes hoId, Klára begins to Iose grip on her sanity...
Part fairy taIe, part Gothic horror, Morgiana is a fuII-bIown hallucinatory experience from the director of the chiIIing The Cremator, OiI Lamps and Beauty and the Beast.
