Murdering the Devil [Cancelled]
Ester Krumbachová, 1970, Czechoslovakia, 72 min
She is in her forties – or near them – and life isn’t at all what she expected. Maybe a trip down memory lane could help? In her younger days there had been a splendid young man, Bohouš Čert whom she fancied and who had also seemed interested in her. And so, she looks for and finds Bohouš Čert, who is now Engineer Čert. He has become pretentious, arrogant, self-involved – a nightmare. And still, she thinks it has to be this cretinous creature who will lead her to the altar.
Murdering the Devil remains the sole directorial effort of art director and costume designer Ester Krumbachová.
