I’ve seen Andre Rublev again, and while I can’t say I understand it, I recognize it as the extraordinary cinema masterpiece that it is. It’s entirely possible that another viewing of Marketa Lazarová might leave me with a similar impression. Both films are immersive experiences, throwing the viewers into an era strange to them and giving them only a few guideposts to help them sort out even such matters as who’s doing what to whom and why. Marketa Lazarová has been voted the greatest Czech film by Czech critics and filmmakers, and I have no doubt that it deserves the accolade. Every film in a language foreign to me is a cultural challenge, but it will take me another viewing simply to get my bearings on it. It’s beautifully filmed, and it does some daring things with sound – the voices were dubbed later, sometimes with actors other than the ones we see on screen. -- source link
