Frantisek Vlacil - Stiny horkeho leta aka Shadows of a Hot Summer (1978) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076765 http://fotky.com.ua/pfiles/2765.jpg Language Czech Subtitles English Once more, Vlacil's films are largely about subjects that are not seen on screen. With some spoilers, here we have a story set in 1947 when Ukrainian right-wing anti-Communist guerillas, looking like and feeling like Nazi's, are trying to fight their way through Czechoslovakia to Austria. They come out of the forest to occupy a family's countryside farm house, kidnapping a doctor to help heal one of their wounded, but this could just as easily be about the post-war occupying forces in Eastern Europe, or the occupying Soviet forces in the 60's, as there is an initial belief that there is nothing anyone can do, or to coin a STAR TREK phrase, `Resistance is futile.' The film has a very languid pace which establishes the mood and pace of this small village, much of it is wordless, with a Sergio Leone acid-western feel, easily the most outstanding feature is the original music by Zdenek Liska, which plays on the inner psychological turmoil, providing an unseen character in the film. The father gives the appearance of passivity, as he is outmanned and outgunned, while his eager young son wants a taste of immediate revenge. But a wiser course of action is called for, waiting, giving the impression he is yielding to their demands, as the father wants to protect the lives of his wife and children, which allows for large doses of screen time where various family members are performing daily farm chores, just trying to survive this ordeal, while interspersed in each frame are men with machine guns who sadistically threaten their every impulse. This farmhouse under occupation represents a country under occupation, all feel like helpless victims where every moment is spent in fear, any minute things could spin helplessly out of control, and this film skillfully gets under everyone's skin. http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/6015/93979409oy6.jpg http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/3306/41396787pi6.jpg http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/6268/43347167bp4.jpg http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/3396/34854814ak1.jpg -----------not my rip----------- File Name .........................................: Stiny horkeho leta (1978).avi File Size (in bytes) ............................: 1,462,276,096 bytes Runtime ............................................: 1:39:32 Video Codec ...................................: XviD ISO MPEG-4 Frame Size ......................................: 704x512 (AR: 1.375) FPS .................................................: 25.000 Video Bitrate ...................................: 1821 kb/s Bits per Pixel ...................................: 0.202 bpp B-VOP, N-VOP, QPel, GMC.............: [B-VOP], [], [], [] Audio Codec ...................................: 0x0055 MPEG-1 Layer 3 Sample Rate ...................................: 48000 Hz Audio Bitrate ...................................: 128 kb/s [2 channel(s)] CBR No. of audio streams .......................: 1 ******************************** Freakyflicks is a free and open community dedicated to preserving and sharing cinematic art in the digital era.
