Full Plot Details

Mikolás and his brother Adam rob travelers for their tyrannical father Kozlík. During one of their "jobs" they end up with a young German hostage whose father escapes to return news of the kidnapping and robbery to the King. Kozlik prepares for the wrath of the King, and sends Mikolás to pressure his neighbor Lazar to join him in war. Persuasion fails, and in vengeance Mikolás abducts Lazar's daughter Marketa, just as she was about to join a convent. The King, meantime, dispatches an army and the religious Lazar will be called upon to join hands against Kozlik. Stripped-down, surreal, and relentlessly grimy account of the shift from Paganism to Christianity.

Movie Reviews

Electric Sheep - 10/10 by Stephen ThomsonSound in general is one of the film's most distinctive features: every word, every movement whips back at you in a dry, staccato echo.
Movie Metropolis - 9/10 by Christopher LongVlacil's historical epic is a sensory overload... but I am certain of one thing. I have just seen a masterpiece.
The New York Review of Books - 9/10 by J. HobermanFor all its outrageous primitivism, and brutality, Vláčil's mad epic was a harbinger of the Prague Spring and undoubtedly, during the course of the long winter that would follow, a reproachful embodiment of its blighted hopes.
User Review - 10/10 by Alex SA movie with incredible scope filled with loads of symbolism and explorations of weighty subjects, Marketa Lazarova is a cinematic epic that demands various viewings to truly understand everything in it.
User Review - 10/10 by Marcus HThis film oozes texture and mood. The production is amazing. It feels more like a glimpse into the past, rather than actors and crew recreating it. The music and sound design create a dreamy lull where you don't mind so much that the characters are morally reprehensible. More art house than action, it is gritty and brutal, yet thought provoking, yet thrilling. More than any of these things, Marketa Lazarova is a visual and auditory marvel.
User Review - 10/10 by Vinnie Ga magnificent epic that's like a time machine trip to the dark ages. the story involves two 'noble' families who are little better than common thieves and their feud with each other and with the 'army' sent by the king to stop them from robbing travelers on the roads. in the middle of all this is marketa lazarová, a beautiful virgin promised to the convent but soon kidnapped by her decidedly more pagan neighbors. i read the director had the actors spend two years living in the woods in order to capture the mindset of medieval people and i think this really paid off. it's hard to imagine them living in modern times. just every frame of the film is a jaw dropping masterpiece. ridiculously great soundtrack too
User Review - 10/10 by visitorQ SA staggering epic. Beautiful cinematography. Haunting imagery. An all around amazing film...if a bit hard to follow.
User Review - 10/10 by Johnny KVaguely speaking: Det Sjunde Inseglet (1957) meets Andrey Rublyov (1966). Reknowned auteur Frantisek Vlácil, whether you accept that he grabbed European influence or not, created a masterpiece. This masterpiece deals with the brutal transition from Paganism to Christianity, and the overall religious and social background is reflected in Marketa's fragile yet determined personality. Through dreamlike sequences and an episodic structure, the Middle Ages are explored through malicious eyes with most explicit detail, from the repulsive to the chaotic and the poetic. How Marketa's curiosity (not necessarily a submission per se) could be contrasted with the religious modifications destroying portions of traditions in ancient societies is a promising analysis. What a genious move! This is one of the best movies ever created. 100/100
User Review - 10/10 by Simon LThis is quite literally the most unique film I've ever seen, seemingly impenetrable. But once you let yourself be seduced, it is an extraordinary cinematic experience!!!
User Review - 10/10 by Martin TVelmi krutá, syrová a zároveÅ? poetická báseÅ? ve filmu, kde každý zábÄ?r je vlastnÄ? fotografický klenot. Velkorysý film - meditace. Nutné vidÄ?t na velkém plátnÄ?.
