About this episode
We conclude Czechtember 2024 with a film from Frantiscek Vlacil, Adeliheid. Released in 1970, the film stars Petr Čepek as Viktor, a former Czech soldier turned caretaker of a confiscated German estate where he encounters the titular Adelheid (played by Emma Černá), who is being held as a prisoner. Their evolving relationship forms the core of the film, set against a backdrop of post-war displacement and political tension. Cerise Howard and Jonthan Owen join Mike to discuss this underseen Vlacil film. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support .
