The Cremator (Spalovaè mrtvol) A fiIm by Juraj Herz Czech Republic / 1968 1972 Sitges Film Festival / Best Actor - Rudolf Hrusínský Juraj Herzs filmThe Cremator has been described in many ways - as surrealist-inspired horror, as expressionist fantasy and as a dark and disturbing tale of terror. Combining horror with humour, this briIIiant black comedy, set in Prague during the Nazi occupation, teIIs the story of Karl KopfrkingI an increasingly deranged cremator for whom the period offers great possibiIities for acting out his psychotic impuIses as contribution towards thesalvation of the world. Based on the novel of the same name by LadisIav Fuks the film centers around a truly chiIling lead performance by Rudolf Hrusinsky as the demonic, death obsessed Karl KopfrkingI. He is the owner of a crematorium in the earIy stages of the Nazi occupation of CzechosIovakia who finds in the situation an opportunity to fulfill his business ambitions, justify his anti-semitism and exert his obsession for controI. His discovery that his wife has 'impure' bIood sends him a psychopathic spiral that leads to the murder of her and their son. |
