The film follows William, thirty-ish, out of work and looking for a new life after apparently having been thrown out of his previous one. He meets up with Noelle, who seems intrigued by his restlessness - until her economist boyfriend shows up. Yet plot details do little to convey the power of the film, which lay in its capturing the anarchic texture of William's life - a life whose lack of direction was read as a rebuke of the Swiss myth of orderliness and self-satisfaction. With his roots in documentary, Soutter excelled at creating a loose, vibrant cinema, full of quick zooms and dynamic hand-held shots, with dialogue that often alternated between outright quotations and stylized interviews. close

Lemuel Gulliver (Lubomír Kostelka) has had a car accident and continues his journey across the unknown countryside on foot. On the road he finds a dead rabbit dressed like a man and takes a watch from its waistcoat breast pocket. The half-ruined house that he enters reminds Lemuel of his childhood and brings up a painful memory of a dearly loved girl Markéta who was drowned years ago. Gulliver finds himself in Balnibarbi, a country where he doesn't understand the laws and habits and so continually offends against public decency. It is a day when people are ordered to keep their mouths shut and they force their visitor to follow suit. He faces harsh interrogation and finds it difficult to explain that he is not the rabbit Oscar whose watch has been found in his possession. close

“Metamorphosis”, created according to the novel Franz Kafka , is an arthouse film by Stephen Berkoff. The project was intended for television, it is “built” in the form of a play, in which, as in the novella Kafka, there is more than one transformation.
So, Gregor becomes a beetle, and from a person to a “pathetic insect” all impulses, feelings and emotions pass. The sympathies of the most dear people are transformed into horror, betrayal, complete indifference. The sister “reincarnates” into an independent woman, who leaves the desire to care for a parasitic relative.
The film starred Linda Marlowe, Saskia Reeves, Stephen Berkoff and others. close

Connected by editing, they contain a secret. Five spectators can't solve it and will apparently be executed. close
