Poster for Nellie

2013 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Transporting the viewer to a very different time and place, Nellie is inspired by the life of Cornelia van Rijn, Rembrandt's illegitimate daughter, who at the age of sixteen emigrated to Batavia (present-day Jakarta). Little is known about Cornelia's life; no portraits of her are known to exist. But this omission from the history books was for the artist an opportunity to give her imagination free reign. With this unsettling work Tan offers a touching homage to a forgotten woman, whose 'suspended history' becomes activated again.

Poster for Spending the Night

2007 · ★ 3.7 (6)

Due to a fight, the parents cut their evening short, and when they return, the situation gets out of hand and feelings of hurt lead to abuse. Adolfsson paints a gruesome picture of adolescent love and how fears and expectations can completely override a young person’s will.

Poster for Atrakción

1974 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Helena Böhmová’s (Třeštíková’s) graduation documentary offers a glimpse into the lives of the Šmíd siblings, a family of circus performers from South Bohemia. Accompanied by an eclectic musical soundtrack ranging from traditional folk music and trumpet to pan flute, we watch them rehearse at their winter quarters. Their testimonies reveal that they pursue the dangerous professions of tightrope walking and pole acrobatics primarily out of passion, as the work brings little financial reward. Gaining the admiration of women is another motivation. Both the preparations and the performance itself in Kralupy, along with the performers and their audience, are captured in authentic-looking black-and-white footage, while occasional colour sequences lend the film a poetic, even metaphorical dimension.
