In a rather bizarre environment of a hospital, a criminal plot takes place – a murder occurs there. One of the doctors discovers the real reason for the crime and the perpetrator. However, the film tells more about the people who live in the hospital than about the investigation; the chosen setting is filled with rather peculiar and bizarre figures.

Transport From Paradise / Transport z ráje (1963) Zbynek Brynych, Zdenek Stepánek, Ilja Prachar, Jirí Vrstála

rarefilm — Sat, 13 Jan 2024 22:24:39 +0000

Transport from Paradise is set in an unusual World War II concentration camp. The lax Nazi guards permit their Jewish prisoners to roam freely about the camp and conduct their own business and social affairs, without the threat of instant extermination looming over their heads. The prisoners’ main fear is that they may at any moment be shipped off to one of the death camps. In the film’s incredibly heartbreaking climax, a group of prisoners willingly board a train to Auschwitz, laboring under the delusion that they are being sent to another “paradise” camp at the behest of the Council of Jewish Elders.

The Merry Wives (1939) Otakar Vávra, Zdenek Stepánek, Frantisek Kreuzmann, Adina Mandlová

rarefilm — Fri, 03 May 2019 19:50:28 +0000

Czech filmmaker Otakar Vavra truly came into his own with his third feature, Guild of the Kutna Hora Virginas, released in the U.S. as The Merry Wives. Though the title was toned down for American consumption, the censors still found fault with the storyline, which concerns a bon vivant (Zdanek Stepanek) who fools around with all available women, especially those who are already married. The hardly exemplary protagonist manages to become a hero by exposing a nest of crooks operating in his community. Much screen time is expended upon Adina Matlova as the town trollop, who turns out to be the most likeable character in the film. Though it earned an award at the Venice Film Festival, The Merry Wives was banned in Czechoslovakia when the Nazis came to power.

1419: The atmosphere in Prague after Hus’ death is very tense. Several rebels are prisoned and radical priest Jan Zelivský leads large masses of people to the Old Town’s council house occupied by corrupt councillors, where the prisoners are kept. The councillors refuse demands lodged by Zelivský and several people are killed by stones thrown from windows. This act provokes ennoyance and leads to an overt uprising: the gate of the council house is broken and the councillors are thrown out of windows and killed (the so-called first Prague defenestration). When the king hears about this event, he is enormously upset and dies of heart failure. In the night the queen with courtiers leaves the city. The hussite revolution begins and the rebels elect Jan Zizka as their leader.
