ci sono tutti gli elementi per un gran film, un drammone, e Martin Fric è davvero bravo a tirar fuori un film indimenticabile.
bellissime, e al loro posto, le musiche di Dvorak.
lo evitino quelli che si spaventano a priori per il bianco e nero e per il cinema muto, ma non sanno cosa perdono - Ismaele
An old organist involuntarily becomes a witness to a
suicide of an unknown man. Before he dies he gives a packet with money in it
for his daughter who is living in a convent. The organist does not report this
case to the authorities but, instead, hides the body in the cellar. He does not
know, however, that his actions are being observed by his spineless neighbour,
a shoe-polisher who later blackmails him threatening to tell the authorities
that he had committed a murder. The organist is gripped by a strong paternal
feeling for the girl. She has fallen in love with a young artist and flees the
convent. The organist considers this ingratitude and betrayal. He becomes
paralysed in his grief and can no longer carry out his duties. In the end the
girl realises her mistake; she returns to the organist and he recovers from his
illness.
En los años sesenta, Fric se preparaba para
realizar su gran proyecto. "Deseo que la película sobre la aldea de
Lidice, arrasada por los nazis, sea mi pequeño monumento. Quiero rodarla así
como realmente sucedió, y no la versión oficialista", declaró en aquel
entonces el artista.
Este gran tema, lamentablemente no logró
realizarlo. En la noche del 21 de agosto de 1968, cuando las tropas del antiguo
Tratado de Varsovia invadieron el territorio checoslovaco, Fric se refugió en
la botella de su coñac predilecto. Al día siguiente cuando le encontraron fue
demasiado tarde. Cinco días después el gran cineasta checo falleció en uno de
los hospitales de Praga. Su entierro se convirtió en una de las manifestaciones
contra la ocupación.
