Rethought version of Dvorak classic worth watching for Myrto Papatanasiu’s riveting portrayal of the title character.

Marketa Lazarová [Criterion Collection] Blu-ray Review

July 12, 2013 By Lawrence D. Devoe, MD Leave a Comment

A brilliant, often disturbing film by director Vlacil, the amazing cinematography displays violence and brutality that is offset by an incredible cinematic story. Understandably this is the Czech film of all time.
