Czech director Vera Chytilova offers a modern day imagining of the classic Adam and Eve tale with FRUIT OF PARADISE. Shot in 1970, Chytilova's film follows a couple who eat some "forbidden" fruit while on vacation, which sets them on the path to finding a deadly killer.

Chytilova audaciously mixes allegory with the avant-garde in this operatic tale of a girls' attraction to a devilish serial killer. Using the structure of a crime novel, characters symbolizing Adam and Eve and quotations from Genesis, director plays with the notion that to search for truth is to court death. Chytilovais most experimental work is a strikingly beautiful film in which photography and music combine in a unique celebration of form.

Věra Chytilová's Ovoce stromu rajských jíme (Fruit of Paradise, 1969) is an audacious combination of allegorical narrative and the avant-garde. Above all, it plays with the idea of searching for "truth" and questions our ability to accept it. It is a reflection on the nature of the film itself, as well as a personal testament of its reputedly "cynical" director's commitment to "telling the truth." It is a vivid testimony to the role of the "avant-garde" in 1960s Czechoslovak cinema. It is an ascendant of what Eisenstein described as "intellectual cinema."

However, montage is more or less dispensed with, in favour of a plethora of visual associations and mental juxtapositions that are orchestrated through a succession of semi-improvised "happenings." As Peter Hames has acknowledged, it boldly defies any "realistic" interpretation, yet encourages "active interpretation," demanding that the viewer construct his or her own meaning.

Like its precursor Sedmikrásky (Daisies, 1966), it is thoroughly "post-modernist" in the sense of the playfulness implied by the term. Yet, contrary to the opinion of its state sponsor, Chytilová's reckless playfulness doesn't invite nihilism. Ovoce stromu rajských jíme may be more obscure than Sedmikrásky, but it remains a resoundingly "mainstream avant-garde" film, a brilliantly executed aesthetic exercise. It is formalism at its most beautiful.

Believe me, this film is really COOL stuff, even better than her "Daisies" (1966), one of the strangest movie of czech new wave.

User Comments: The yang woman castrated two men who raped her.

The interesting story is funny only in a first quarter of this movie. Then this comedy is more then boring. The actors aren't good, specialy Tomas Hanak is the same as another his movies. Positive is only famous Miroslav Donutil's playing.

Also Known As:
Tainted Horseplay
Runtime: Mexico:133 min
Country: Czechoslovakia

Color: Color
Sound Mix: Mono
imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095463/

Plot Summary: Two friends have sex just for fun. One day they make a blood test, just for fun, and they discover that one of them has AIDS, not knowing who.

Great movie for Czechs.

This is a great typical movie of the group around Steindler, Vavra, Hanak. They make some sort of artistic ironic humor which is mostly based on situations and dialogs. It also builds dialogs and situation based on the Czech mentality and Czech history, I do not believe that this sort of movies can be interesting to other, than Czech, people. But for me it was great.

User Comments: Probably the most popular Comedy in Czech Republic.

The rough Redneck may inherit from Stepfather a Million Dolars and fun can begin. This Movie is full of popular Messsages and unforgettable Scenes. The acorn-cracker Humour on the one side balance with the hard life-deal of breezy Villagers on the second side. The fresh Millionaire starts buying Drinks, Horses, Swimmingpools, Carousels ("for Kids")and pretty Chicks, of course. After he bancrots and recognize his really friends. Most funny Czech Comedy for last years. Definitely Cult Movie.

He encontrado otro enlace de Vera chytilová que creo, no esta posteado:

Faunovo velmi pozdní odpoledne (1983)

PLOT DESCRIPTION
The strains of Debussy's "Afternoon of a Faun" waft through this amusing comedy about an aging lecher's ever-optimistic pursuit of the fair sex, for fair sex, or better. The "faun" wakes up to a new day of happy hunting because the proof of the pudding is irrelevant, it is the joy of finding the ingredients that matters. Whether out on the streets or at his job in an office, he does not relent in his hopeful approaches to mainly young women, who mainly ignore him. No one is more aware of his skirt-chasing than an older companion in the same office who has loved him from the beginning. And the big question is, will the late-blooming Don Juan come to his senses? ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All

Directed by: Véra Chytilová
Running Time: 87 minutes
Starring: Jiri Halek, Tereza Kucerova, Leos Sucharipa
