Synopsis
Josef Váchal's 1924 novel toyed with stereotypes drawn FROM lurid literary trash, and the work serves as the starting point for a film adaptation displaying high visual stylization. Director and cameraman Jaroslav Brabec translated this literary work INTO movie language by making ironic use of generic and esthetic models FROM cinema's earliest beginnings to the talkies era.
