An allegory set within an archetypal Czech village, it tells of what occurs when a succession of mystical events occur, for example, disappearance of the stationmaster. While everything has a rational explanation, collective paranoia takes hold and everybody’s worst instincts are introduced. Interrogations, the abolition of the hunt for scapegoats ultimately result in murder.

]]> The Strike AKA Siréna (1947) Karel Steklý, Josef Bek, L. Bohác, Josef Dekoj https://rarefilm.net/sirena-the-strike-1947-karel-stekly-josef-bek-l-bohac-josef-dekoj-drama/ Mon, 09 Mar 2020 11:22:46 +0000 http://rarefilm.net/?p=36378 Sirena (Karel Stekly, 1947)
The first Czechoslovak film to receive the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, The Strike is a cornerstone example of political agitprop. Set amidst a worker’s strike in late-nineteenth-century Kladno (the main coal-mining region of the country), the film lays down the battle lines early with its portrait of hardscrabble miners, determined wives, jackbooted military oppressors, and the dandified Germanic elite who control them all. (Made immediately after the war, the film also highlights Czech nationalism in the face of German rule.) Fortunately the film is no mirthless diatribe, but full of verve and a remarkable black-coal realism; Karel Steklý’s direction benefits from the noirish black and white photography of Jaroslav Tuzar, which captures the miners’ underworld realm and their nighttime union gatherings along with the remarkable landscape of the region. The Strike became the model for countless generic retreads in the ensuing restrictive years.
