Description
[Machine Translation] Medieval upheaval and growing religious beliefs. A girl named Marqueta's cursed love... The novel of the same title, said to be impossible to visualize, has been adapted to film by the master of the Czech Nouvelle Vague, Franciszek Vratil. The greatest Czech film of all time is now available for the first time in Japan after 56 years. The story takes place in the middle of the 13th century in the kingdom of Bohemia, which is in turmoil. Malkater, a girl who was promised to become a nun, falls in love with Mikola , the son of Kozlik, a bandit knight who opposes her father Razal, who is not much more than a lord. Despite her heart, the clash between the two clans against the growing royal power intensifies... The film depicts people at the mercy of Christianity and paganism, man and the wild, love and violence, and has been ranked alongside such films as Andrei Rublev (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1971) and The Seven Samurai (Akira Kurosawa, 1954). In 1998, it was voted the best Czech film of all time by a poll of Czech film critics and journalists. The director's strong desire to "intuitively capture the inner workings of history rather than tracing events of the past" led him to create costumes, weapons, and other props using the same materials and methods as in those days, and to shoot on location for 548 days while living deep in the mountains in the extreme cold. The film is based on the novel of the same title by Vladislav Vancura, who is well known in the Czech Republic. The costumes are by Theodor Pistek, who won an Academy Award for "Amadeus," and the music is by Zdenek Lischka, who has composed music for many films, including Jan vankmajer's. "Film Opera" is meticulous, bold, sublime, and full of ferocious energy. In 2022, 55 years after its production, the film was finally released in Japan for the first time. It is an extraordinary work of art, the likes of which have never been produced anywhere else in the world, and will never be produced again. --The story takes place in the middle of the 13th century in the kingdom of Bohemia, which is in turmoil. Kozlyk, the lord of Lohacek, was a valiant knight and a cruel bandit at the same time. One icy winter day, Kozlik's sons Mikola and Adam attack the Count's party on an expedition and take the Count's son Christian as their prisoner. The king sends an elite force commanded by General Pivo in an attempt to recapture the prisoners and defeat Rohacek. Meanwhile, Razal, the lord of Obozhishtse, is living a prosperous life, sometimes stealing the prey of the Kozlik clan. He has a daughter named Marqueta, who is promised to become a nun in the future. When Mikolash offered to form an alliance with him in preparation for an attack by the king's army, Razal refused and joined the king's army, which led to the burning of his fortress and the abduction of his daughter, Malkater. Markater gradually begins to love Mikola , who tries to protect her despite the brutal treatment she receives.
