1967 | B/N |

This stirring and poetic depiction of a feud between two rival medieval clans is a fierce, epic and meticulously designed evocation of the clashes between Christianity and paganism, humankind and nature, love and violence. Vlácˇil’s approach was to re-create the textures and mentalities of a long-ago way of life, rather than to make a conventional historical drama.
