Czech filmmakers have several times been galvanised by the writings of Jaroslav Havlíček. The result in most cases was a film that merged the quality of the literary template and the personality of the particular filmmaker, whether it be Barbora Hlavsová (1942) directed by Martin Frič, Prokletí domu Hajnů (The Curse of the Hajns’ House, 1988) directed by Jiří Svoboda, or Jaromil Jireš’s Helimadoe (1992). However, the most famous adaptation of a Havlíček novel is the psychological drama Petrolejové lampy (Oil Lamps). The film is based on an eponymous novel first published in 1935 as Vyprahlé touhy (Parched Desires) and released again in 1944 following revisions and a change of title. The motion picture was made in 1971 according to a screenplay from Lubor Dohnal, Václav Šašek and Juraj Herz, the last of whom also directed the film. The director, who achieved fame in the 1960s with his excellent drama Spalovač mrtvol (The Cremator, 1968), made Petrolejové lampy into an expressive account of unfulfilled female desires. The main protagonist of the film, set in the early 20th century, is wealthy thirtysomething Štěpa Kiliánová, whose liberalism makes it difficult for her to find a suitor among her social circles in a small town. She ends up marrying her worldly cousin Pavel for whom she harbours a naïve admiration despite knowing that he is merely interested in the dowry. It is only after the wedding that Štěpa finds out that her husband suffers from syphilis. She’s now not only unable to have children, she’s also to suffer her husband’s physical and mental decline… The role of Štěpa was delivered by Iva Janžurová, 30 at the time, in one of her stand-out performances. Janžurová also starred in the main double role in Herz’s romantic drama Morgiana (1972). The actress found a worthy counterpart in Petr Čepek who performed Pavel as an impressive study of the devastation of a conquering, elegant manhood. In 2006, Herz directed a theatrical performance of Petrolejové lampy on the stage of Prague theatre Na Jezerce with Bára Hrzánová and Radek Holub in the two leading roles. In 2013, Radim Špaček and David Jařab recorded a theatrical performance of Petrolejové lampy, which Jařab staged with the Prague Chamber Theatre. The stars on this occasion were Karel Roden and Ivana Uhlířová.

A WW2 story of a young Austrian soldier running from the Russian army and a woman whom he forces to come along in order to save his wounded mate.Review by More_Badass ★★★★½:
Steely revenge and humanity on the fringes of WW2. Two German soldiers – one slowly dying, the other young and skittish – force a Czech widow to transport them to the Austrian border, through a forest of patrols and partisans. While, unbeknownst to them, she meticulously plots her righteous vengeance. The closest analog that came to mind while watching Carriage to Vienna was Hellman’s Westerns. Similar to those distilled genre exercises, this is a minimal and near-parabolic thriller tone-poem, one that makes excellent use of Hitchcock’s classic axe-under-the-carriage style of suspense. A taut slow-burn that fills its concise 74 minutes with evolving tension and harrowing drama, its characters’ silences and disparate expressions lingering.

Gorgeously textured black-&-white cinematography capture the endless Czech woodlands with misty mythic grandeur. The road transforms into a stage seemingly divorced from the larger conflict, allowing its triptych of compelling performances to simmer and collide in stark isolation. The carriage transcends its intimate dynamic to become a rolling microcosm of wartorn society – the poisonous ideologue, the indoctrinated youth, the innocent victim – as dehumanization and hate is painfully chipped away by empathy.

A deliberate meditation on revenge and redemption wrapped in a quietly riveting thriller, with a powerful coda that brings its themes and wartime drama to an impactful conclusion.

Her mom comes up with the idea to buy her some extra heads: one for Maths, one for poetry and so forth. Matylda gets all her heads together at home and everyone is happy. Until the day when her mother accidentally switches her head for a cabbage when Matylda is to recite a poem for her grandma. The family get-together is huge embarrassment. So Matylda and her mother realize that one head is more than enough.
