Keywords: Blu-Ray-Disc

Abstract: Made in 1948, just a few short years after the horrors it strives to process, Distant Journey is one of the first feature films to tackle the subject of the Holocaust, and was the debut film from controversial avant-garde visionary of Czech theatre, Alfréd Radok. Set in the Bohemian town of Terezín as the Nazi transports to German extermination camps began in earnest, Radok's vividly experimental film blends documentary footage with a fictional love story between a Jewish woman and her gentile husband. A mix of raw expressionist intensity and analysis, Distant Journey presents a harrowing account of the Nazi horrors of the recent past and remains a stark, ever-relevant warning from history.

Uniform Title: Démanty noci

Keywords: Blu-Ray-Disc

Abstract: Zwei Jugendliche entfliehen im Zweiten Weltkrieg einem Gefangenentransport, der sie ins Konzentrationslager bringen soll. Die faszinierende Beschreibung der Sinneswahrnehmung und des Seelenzustandes verfolgter, erschöpfter Menschen sprengt die Gesetze des Spielfilms und gestaltet sich zu einem Gleichnis von Flucht und Freiheit, Angst und Hoffnung. [Film-Dienst]

Abstract: With its virtuoso cinematography, inspired editing and brilliantly utilised soundtrack, the film is a landmark of the ill-fated Czech New Wave. Its themes of man's perpetual struggle to preserve human dignity in the face of unimaginable horrors are just as relevant today. [Cover]

Uniform Title: Spalovac mrtvol

Keywords: DVD-Video

Abstract: Ein gewissenhafter Bürger, Angestellter eines Krematoriums in einer kleinen tschechischen Stadt, liebevoller Ehemann und besorgter Familienvater, begegnet während des Krieges unerwartet einem deutschen Kriegskameraden und erinnert sich daran, dass er eigentlich auch ein Deutscher ist und damit zu den Mächtigen gehört. Seine Karriere beginnt, und im Verlauf seines Aufstiegs zaudert er nicht, Frau und Kinder zu töten, nachdem er feststellen musste, dass die Mutter seiner Frau Jüdin war. Eine brillante makabre Satire, die den Aufstieg eines Mannes zum Nazi-Henker aus seiner perversen Natur entwickelt und damit auf die entsetzlichen Möglichkeiten des "normalen" Menschen in einer entsetzlichen Zeit aufmerksam macht.
