The Crucified - 1921 - 5/10
AKA - Ukrizovaná
The soldier and best friend priest are both smitten with the innkeeper’s daughter.
The priest has his vows, so the soldier scores, and the daughter wins “Baby Jackpot!”
Out of wedlock, plus she’s Jewish, he’s not, what happens next? Yeah, the heave ho.
This is dreary throughout, and underpinned with 1848 Revolutions that seem endless.
Numerous battles, characters come and go.
The print I saw was nicely restored, but the music score was too modern.
Electronic blips, swirls, pulsations, ambiant groans. An overall distraction.
