Anyone who’s planning to visit Prague between now and the end of May might well be interested in the exhibition František Vláčil: Zápasy (or The Struggles of of František Vláčil), a multimedia tribute to the great Czech director of Marketa Lazarová (1967).
Those of us trapped elsewhere will have to make do with its bilingual (Czech-English) website, though at least that offers plenty to get your teeth into, including a series of stunning photogalleries.
Talking of Marketa Lazarová, it’s receiving two rare 35mm outings in Britain, at London’s Riverside Studios this Sunday (April 20) and at the Edinburgh Filmhouse on May 23. Anyone who goes will earn my undying jealousy – I still haven’t seen the film on the big screen yet, but the London show directly clashes with my niece’s christening.
