One of the “darkest” films in the history of cinema: “Marketa Lazarová” on the big screen with an Othon presentation!

Set in the harsh and desolate landscapes of medieval Bohemia, Marketa Lazarová is a timeless masterpiece that combines a rare poetic power with an unflinching brutality seldom seen in cinema. Directed by František Vláčil, the film paints, with epic intensity, a world where good and evil, faith and instinct, love and violence are inseparably intertwined.

Widely regarded as one of the most radical and powerful works of the Czech New Wave, Marketa Lazarová explores the darker corners of human nature, the clash between pagan traditions and Christian morality, and the price of freedom through a singular and unforgettable cinematic language. Not an easy film to watch, but one to be profoundly felt, it reminds us that cinema is not only the art of storytelling, but also the art of embodying the spirit of an era.

This screening is made possible with the support of the Consulate General of the Czech Republic.
