Jan Švankmajer - The Pendulum, The Pit And Hope

[Lahdyn]

14:00 : "-Eh quoi, mon enfant! A la veille, peut-être, du salut... vous vouliez donc nous quitter! "

(Villiers de l'Isle-Adam - La torture par l'espérance)

[Lahdyn]

‎00:56 : "The sentence - the dread sentence of death - was the last of distinct accentuation which reached my ears. After that, the sound of the inquisitorial voices seemed merged in one dreamy indeterminate hum. It conveyed to my soul the idea of revolution -- perhaps from its association in fancy with the burr of a mill wheel."

(Edgar Allan Poe - The Pit and the Pendulum)

One of Svankmajer's best works: the finest adaptation of Poe committed to celluloid!

Úžasné, kdysi jsem to viděl jako předfilm ve Filmovém klubu, co hrálo jako hlavní film si dnes už nepamatuji (skoro 30 let) ale Švankmajer mě tehdy nadchnul a drží mně to dodnes.
