Description
directed by Jan Němec (Czechoslovakia, 1966)
After Diamonds of the Night (1664) and other short films, Jan Němec releases his master piece O Slavnosti a Hostech (The Party and the Guests) in 1966, which has the effect of being immediately censored and putting a break in his cinematographic career of some 22 years. This absurd and Kafkian piece relates the difficulties facing a group of people invited to a dinner party in the forest. With its strong analogy to the totalitarian regime, this biting satire of conformity and profound human nature is considered as the most politically dangerous film of Czech cinema made in the 60’s.
