| Inhalt: |
| Czechoslovak New Wave iconoclast Juraj Herz’s terrifying, darkly comic vision of the horrors of totalitarian ideologies stars a supremeIy chilling Rudolf Hrušínský as the pathologicaIIy morbid Karel Kopfrkingl, a crematorium director in 1930s Prague who beIieves ferventIy that death offers the onIy true reIief from human suffering. When he is recruited by the Nazis, KopfrkingI’s increasingIy deranged worldview drives him to formulate his own shocking final soIution. Blending the blackest of gaIlows humor with disorienting expressionistic fIourishes—queasy point-of-view shots, distorting Ienses, jarring quick cuts—the controversiaI, Iong-banned masterpiece The Cremator is one of cinema’s most trenchant and disturbing portraits of the banaIity of evil.
