Pearls of the Deep

Czechoslovakia 1966, 105 min, Dir: Jiří Menzel, Jan Němec, Evald Schorm, Věra Chytilová, Jaromil Jireš
Czech with subtitles

 

A manifesto of sorts for the Czech New Wave, this five-part anthology shows off the breadth of expression and the versatility of the movement’s directors. Based on stories by the legendary writer Bohumil Hrabal, the shorts range from the surreally chilling to the caustically observant to the casually romantic, but all have a cutting, wily view of the world.
