The Cremator (Spalovač mrtvol) is a 1968 Czechoslovak horror comedy/drama film directed by Juraj Herz, based on a novel by Ladislav Fuks. The screenplay was written by Herz and Fuks.

Velmi zajímavý film, i když já jsem mu nikdy nemohl přijít skutečně na chuť tak musím říct, že mě zaujal.

@filmgoria I didn't know the Closed captioning worked well. I guess it depends on the video. Sorry for sounding like an idiot.

Ano, ano... Klenot nejvyšší zlaté koruny české kinematografie a základů briliantního herectví!

Bravo všem tvůrcům!

Díky

PS Jen škoda toho konce s tím vyřízlým tibeckým klášterem... Moc násilný obraz zjednodušené metafory, kapky deště na předním skle by stačily k ukončení tohoto klenotu
