The Ear (1970)Ucho
Although made in 1970, The Ear (Ucho) was immediately banned by the Czech authorities and remained unseen for twenty years, being finally released only after the Velvet Revolution took place in Czechoslovakia. This landmark film is an extraordinary mix of one of the most direct indictments of life under an oppressive totalitarian system and a not-so-private examination of a disintegrating marital relationship. - Director:
- Karel Kachyna
- Cast:
- Jirina Bohdalová, Radoslav Brzobohatý, Gustav Opocenský
