From master filmmaker Juraj Herz (The Cremator, Morgiana), comes Oil Lamps, a sumptuous, unsettling tale of love, desire, and decay. At its centre blazes Iva Janžurová, delivering one of the greatest performances of her career as Štěpa, a spirited, wealthy young woman whose hunger for happiness leads her into a disastrous marriage with her cousin Pavel (Petr Čepek), a ruined officer consumed by bitterness and illness. Janžurová’s fearless portrayal anchors Herz’s intoxicating vision of fin-de-siècle decline, enhanced by stunning design and Luboš Fišer’s unforgettable score. A rare chance to experience this powerful classic with Iva Janžurová herself in attendance.
