Bohumil Hrabal: Pearls of the Deep
23rd January 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Pearls of the Deep is one of the delights of the 1960s Czechoslovak New Wave. Based on stories by Bohumil Hrabal, the film is a compendium of five films each demonstrating the differing styles of five emerging filmmakers: Jiří Menzel, Jan Němec, Evald Schorm, Věra Chytilová, and Jaromil Jireš.
Each vignette (Mr Balthazar’s Death; The Imposters; The House of Joy; The Restaurant The World; Romance) displays unique approaches to Hrabal’s multi-faceted tales of ordinary people and odd obsessions.
With an introduction by Mehelli Modi.
Second Run presents the world Blu-ray premiere of Pearls of the Deep from a brand new 4K restoration.
