Summary |
A stuffy middle-aged foreigner, a businessman named Fabricius, lonely and looking for a night’s diversion, finds it in the form of a mysterious blonde, Zuzana. In an abandoned cemetery, she tells him three tales involving black magic and erotic obsession. In director Jiří Brdečka’s stunning “The Last Golem,” a young rabbi struggles to fashion a massive, silent giant out of living clay – until he’s distracted by a mute servant girl. In the second episode, “Bread Slippers,” an 18th-century countess indulges her passion for sweet cakes, adulterous affairs, and secret kisses with pretty maids – until a mysterious visitor whisks her away to an abandoned mansion, where Fate has a different kind of dance in store for her. In the final story, “Poisoned Poisoner,” a ravishing murderess in the Middle Ages dispatches lecherous merchants to the tune of upbeat 60s Czech Pop songs (scored by the renowned Zdeněk Liška). A true rediscovery for horror and fantasy fans and lovers of the occult, PRAGUE NIGHTS has been restored for its first-ever U.S. release by the Národní filmový archiv, Deaf Crocodile Films and Comeback Company. |
