“Striking style…a cool, noirish slant.”
—Hollywood Reporter
“Rhythmic graphics and samplings of Gershwin.”
—Robert Koehler, Variety
The movie sets, cabarets, and studios of 1940s Prague, rendered in rich black-and-white and eerily bleached color, form the backdrop to this starkly stylish drama of artists, Third Reich villains, and moral choices. Popular film ingénue Hana’s career plummets when her Jewish roots are revealed, just as the smooth voice of her radio announcer husband Emil finds favor with his new Nazi bosses. Hana looks for extramarital love in dangerous places, while Emil discovers that the favor of his overlords is a two-edged sword. In Czech with English subtitles. Special advance screening courtesy of Film Movement. 35mm. (BS)
Update (3/22) - The Tuesday show at 8PM is now SOLD OUT!
