Description
The Velvet Murderers / Sametovi vrazi DVD
Synopsis
They will pull you down to the depths of the Orlík Dam! Released in Czech cinemas in 2005 and inspired by true events, "Velvet Killers" reflects its era. Directed by Jiří Svoboda and starring Michal Dlouhý and Jan Dolanský, the film features other well-known faces like Alice Bendová, Lucie Benešová, Jan Vondráček, Richard Krajčo, and Dušan Urban. Director Jiří Svoboda wrote about the making of this film: "The events that inspired our film occurred between 1990-1995. They are fascinating and gripping not only because of the sheer volume of evil (or perhaps more accurately, the complete absence of anything related to good and moral values) but also due to the banality that grotesquely intertwines with it. The authentic stories of the Orlík murderers are both provocative and inspirational. Natural reality is multidimensional and, in its essence, escapes the categories of good and evil, which humans use to measure natural events in a compulsive attempt to understand them." The Orlík murders, the subsequent trial, and the fates of the perpetrators, some of whom are no longer alive, sparked a chain of media reactions. The film delves into the motivations behind the extensive criminal activities, the private lives of the perpetrators, and their connections with societal structures. Another narrative thread follows the police investigation leading to the capture of all the criminals.
