"Wolf Trap"
1957
Directed by Jiri Weiss
A landmark in Czech
cinema, Wolf Trap is set in a small town in Moravia and focuses on a marital
triangle. The town veterinarian is married to an older, domineering yet insecure and
needful wife. They adopt an orphaned teenage girl. As the veterinarian gradually falls in
love with his adopted daughter, director Jiri Weiss brilliantly constructs a psychological
prison of middle class life from which there is no escape. Czech with English subtitles.
95 minutes. |
