Marketa Lazarová (1967)

My Rating

Movie Info

Vladislav Vancura's novel Marketa Lazarova was based on a centuries-old Czechoslovakian legend. The film version concerns itself with a group of pillaging feudal lords. Though they regard themselves as noble knights, these lords are a raping, robbing lot, slaves to the many superstitions that grip their land. Magda Vasaryova plays Marketa Lazarova, whose misadventures begin when she is kidnapped and abused by the "protagonists." Director Frantisek Vlacil spares us nothing in bringing the Vancura

It's stark, daring and often astoundingly dynamic.

Audience Reviews for Marketa Lazarová

a magnificent epic that's like a time machine trip to the dark ages. the story involves two 'noble' families who are little better than common thieves and their feud with each other and with the 'army' sent by the king to stop them from robbing travelers on the roads. in the middle of all this is marketa lazarová, a beautiful virgin promised to the convent but soon kidnapped by her decidedly more pagan neighbors. i read the director had the actors spend two years living in the woods in order to capture the mindset of medieval people and i think this really paid off. it's hard to imagine them living in modern times. just every frame of the film is a jaw dropping masterpiece. ridiculously great soundtrack too

Haha I found an obscure movie and watched it and had NO IDEA (OK, at least minimal idea, but no more) what was going on. Huh. The recommendation on this page ("Andrei Rublev") is valid, if you like that, you should be OK with this.
