MARKETA LAZAROVA (1967, CZECHOSLOVOKIA)

Hulupalooza! (Post 12 of 12)

Marketa Lazarova

Renowned Czechoslovakian epic that comes across like part Ingmar Bergman and part David Lean. Set during the middle ages, Marketa Lazarova depicts quests for power, kidnapping, raping, pillaging, war and an awful lot of snow. I did feel at times that I need a guide to keep up with all the characters, but I will say this is one of the most beautifully shot films that I have ever seen.
