魔鬼的陷阱

In the time of Counter-Reformation, a miller and his son come under investigation by a priest of the Inquisition, when rumors spread that their prosperity comes from working with the Devil.　　The Devil's Trap is a film directed by František Vlá?il, based on a novel by Alfréd Technik, adapted by František A. Dvorák and Miloš Kratochvíl. It was the first of three historical dramas that Vlá?il made during the Czech New Wave (technically he isn't really a part of the New Wave, however these films were made during the same era of artistic freedom), preceding his more well known Marketa Lazarová (1967) and Valley of the Bees (1968).　　Set in the late 16th Century during the Catholic Reformation, in the Moravian Karst, situated in what is now the Eastern Czech Republic, it tells the tale of a miller (Vítezslav Vejrazka), and his son Jan (Vít Olmer), who come under suspicion and are investigated by a Jesuit priest of the Inquisition (Miroslav Macháchek), when rumors of witchcraft are spread by t

罢工1947

本片获得了1947年威尼斯电影节大奖，是第一部获此荣誉的捷克斯洛伐克影片。《罢工》改编自捷克斯洛伐克女作家玛丽-玛耶洛娃的同名小说。1889年，在距离布拉格不远的小城克拉德诺的一座冶金工厂，一群被残酷剥削的工人们为了争取自己的权益举行了一次罢工，本片正是取材去这一真实事件，讲述的是一群矿工通过举行罢工争取自己权益的故事。故事围绕着一个生活在底层薪金微薄的矿工家庭展开，展现了辛苦劳作却苦苦在生存线上挣扎的矿工及其家人同压榨劳动工人阶级的冷酷矿工主以及占领军之间的冲突矛盾。作为一部黑白电影故事片，《罢工》一片的摄影手法以及入画构图显得极为生动，栩如生展现了矿工危险而艰苦的工作环境。尽管人物刻画和表演显得粗糙，《罢工》一片仍被看做是共产主义政治宣传影片的奠基石，而在电影史上留下了重要的地位。
