Diamonds of the Night is set in Czechoslovakia during World War II. Ladislav Jansky and Antonin Kumbera play two Jewish youths who escape from a concentration camp-bound train. Captured by local peasants on a charge of stealing bread, the boys are sentenced to a firing squad. It turns out that the villagers have no real stomach for killing, and the boys merely go through the motions of a mock execution. They are let go, and continue their journey to freedom. Diamonds of the Night was originally released as Demanty Noci. — Hal Erickson
based on stories by Arnost Lustig: "Diamonds of the Night" is an expressionistic landmark of the Czech New Wave, about two Jewish boys who escape from a train transporting them between concentration camps, but are hunted down by home guardists. Stars Ladislav Jansky, Antonin Kumbera.
"An expressionistic work with surrealistic overtones--a technically brilliant study of two Jewish boys who escape from a train transporting them from one concentration camp to another. Ultimately, they are hunted down by a group of senile home-guards. The film goes beyond the theme of war and anti-Nazism and concerns itself with man's struggle to preserve human dignity. The inter-cutting of the boy's dreams adds a haunting tone to the powerful drama. With: Ladislav Jansky and Antonin Kumbera. Notes: Based on a "Story of Darkness" Arnost Lustig who also wrote the screenplay. Also on this tape. A Bite To Eat. Nemec's short film, was his diploma film from the Prague Film Academy, and received awards from the Amsterdam and Oberhausen Festivals. The film is based on the short story by Lusting from the collection "Diamonds of the Night" Te film is a hallucinatory moment, virtually without dialogue, and handles one man's feverish attempt to steal a loaf of bread from a Nazi guarded train.
