This Czech film from 1972 was shot by Jaromil Jires, who guides his cast through a fictionalized version of a true story which is based on the experiences of Czech resistance fighter Maruska Kuderikova. Kuderikova found herself in the clutches of the Nazi's for her efforts, but made a diary of her harrowing experiences. Here, Jires attempts to bring Kuderikova's diaries to the screen, creating a painful portrait of her life that illustrates both her bravery and fear. Jires enjoyed an impressive career that began at approximately the same time as his lauded fellow-Czech director Milos Forman (BLACK PETER). Part of the Czech new wave, Jires's early work is a favorite of film scholars thanks to its unique combination of influences; directors as diverse as Jean-Luc Godard and Vittorio De Sica are clear antecedents of Jires's style.
Czech filmmaker Jaromil Jires hits a home run with this moving drama based on the life of Maruska Kuderikova (played here by Alzbeta Frejkova), a heroic Moravian woman who was a member of the Resistance during World War II and was captured and imprisoned by the Nazi regime for being a revolutionary. Chronicling her days in a diary, Kuderikova shared her fears and worries, brought to life in this stunning cinematic representation.
The Czech New Wave continues to belch up unseen wonders, the latest of which for us is this 1972 Jaromil Jires lament, based on the prison diaries of Maruska Kuderikova, a Moravian girl who worked with the Czech resistance and was eventually caught, jailed, and executed by the Nazis. Her story is thick with ironies梐 single shot of drunken Nazis teasing a leashed fox speaks volumes梑ut never as much as when the 22-year-old must beg to have her ashes delivered to her family, or when she works through her 99-day sentence by painting eyes on tin soldiers. Ricocheting from The Joke's anti-totalitarian satire to the loopy Grimm-ness of Valerie and Her Week of Wonders to this howl of injustice, Jires nevertheless maintains a distinctive style?fragmented, impressionistic, de-dramatized, stuffed with crass Czech gusto, but always hyper-real and soaked in '70s weather. (Jan Curik's long-lensed cinematography is a pre-digital achievement in desaturated grays, greens, and taupes.) As Kuderikova, Magda V lets her big, stunned eyes do the talking.[/quote]
It's a dvdrip, but obviously the original source is vhs, english subbed, xvid and mp3 codec.
