60's Czech new wave cult weirdness, about a cat that can read people's minds. Somewhat political allegory, it's one of the strangest offerings from that period of Czechoslovak filmmaking, now rediscovered and recently restored.
STÍN KAPRADINY (1986)
dir. František Vláčil
After the murder of a gamekeeper who catches them red-handed having just downed a deer, two young poachers, conceited Ruda and shy Václav go on the run and retreat into a forest that grows steadily more forbidding and deadly as their fear for the future—and guilt over their action—mounts. Based on the only extensive prose work by the surrealist painter Josef Capek.
