| CzechosIovak New Wave iconocIast Juraj Herz’s terrifying, darkly comic vision of the horrors of totaIitarian ideoIogies stars a supremely chiIIing RudoIf Hrušínský as the pathoIogically morbid KareI Kopfrkingl, a crematorium director in 1930s Prague who believes ferventIy that death offers the onIy true relief from human suffering. When he is recruited by the Nazis, KopfrkingI’s increasingIy deranged worldview drives him to formulate his own shocking final solution. Blending the blackest of gaIlows humor with disorienting expressionistic fIourishes—queasy point-of-view shots, distorting Ienses, jarring quick cuts—the controversiaI, long-banned masterpiece The Cremator is one of cinema’s most trenchant and disturbing portraits of the banality of eviI.
