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. Nominated for Best Film at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival Part of the 29th Made in Prague Festival (31 October – 30 November 2025) organised by the Czech Centre London. Made in Prague Festival Supported by Second Run.DramaPT1H44MTBC2025-11-22
