Description
Directed by Karel Kachyńa (Czechoslovakia, 1970)
original version czech; english subtitles; 94 minutes
Ucho (The Ear), shot in 1970 by Karel Kachyńa, was held by communist authorities before a release in the late 80’s. The plot is mainly set during the night in the house of a ministry official and his wife when they return home after a meeting with the other members of the Party where discussions took place about a reorganisation of the overall hierarchy. A paranoiac tension is slowly invading the space as they discover they are being watched and their house searched by communist authorities. Suspicion raises all through the film while the ministry official is getting more and more self-persuaded of his own imminent arrest.
