Description
The Jester and the Queen / Sasek a kralovna DVD
Synopsis
In her film, the castle steward transforms into a scorned, humiliated fool in his wild dreams, trodden upon by his domineering queen. Director Věra Chytilová plays with almost documentary depictions of "reality" and theatrically stylized visions dominated by the color red. The storyline is inspired by Bolek Polívka's play of the same name, but Chytilová often exceeds its bounds, particularly towards satirical exaggeration, providing insights into our recent past and the embarrassing groveling before the powerful and wealthy of this world.
