Ostre sledované vlaky (1966), dir. Jirí Menzel

Чехословацкая комедия о не самом радостном периоде в жизни страны. Юный герой устраивается на непыльную работу станционного служащего и безуспешно пытается ухлестывать за противоположным полом. Его мысли поглощены девочками и немного поездами, которые ходят тут редко. А за кадром - война. Чехия оккупирована нацистской Германией.

Для меня - слишком легкомысленно. Герои весь фильм дистанцируются от происходящего, как будто их это не касается. Какое нам дело до Гитлера? Пускай себе воюет, а мы отдохнем. И это отношение, конечно, с фигой в кармане. Но как так жить, я не представляю.

Dread by the Decade: Le Golem

👻 You can support or commission me on Ko-Fi! ❤️

English Title: The Golem Sequel to: Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam (1920) Year: 1936 Genre: Historical Drama, Supernatural Horror Rating: UR (Recommended: PG-13) Country: Czechoslovakia Language: French Runtime: 1 hour 23 minutes

Director: Julien Duvivier Cinematographers: Jan Stallic, Václav Vích Editor: Jiří Slavíček Composer: Josef Kumok Writers: André-Paul Antoine, Julien Duvivier, Jiří Voskovec, Jan Werich Cast: Charles Dorat, Jany Holt, Harry Baur, Roger Karl, Germaine Aussey, Roger Duchense, Ferdinand Hart

Plot: A rabbi and his wife must reawaken a golem to save their people.

Review: Evocative and progressive for its time, Le Golem paints a painful tale of Jewish persecution and powerful resistance, even if it sometimes focuses too heavily on its villain.

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Story: 3.5/5 - (Note: I haven't been able to see the first film, but this can be viewed as a standalone movie.) It expertly highlights individual prejudice and systematic violence, as well as survival in the face of it. Rachel, the rabbi's wife, and Rudolph, the king, are both especially well written, though a bit too much time is spent with the latter.

Performances: 4.5/5 - Everyone is excellent, but Holt is especially compelling as the steadfast Rachel. Baur also does a great job playing a brutal tyrant who is simultaneously deeply pathetic.

Cinematography: 4/5 - Some lovely long distance shots and creative angles.
