A new restoration of Věra Chytilová’s tragicomedy TAINTED HORSEPLAY (1988) has seen its world premiere at #KarlovyVary. A few observations: www.criterion.com/current/post...

The light thrown from a red table lamp onto David Vávra in Věra Chytilová’s TAINTED HORSEPLAY (1988) is as off-kilter as the world of the film.

David Hudson@dwhdaily· Jul 4

The picture is perfection as it is, but also, they’re in Greece: www.oxbelly.com

ALT: Richard Linklater and Radu Jude, both wearing dark pants with red shirts. Symmetrically raised microphones. They sit before a blue slide that tells us they’re discussing Bresson’s PICKPOCKET. The blue cuts off right above their chins. Below, a matted darkish gray. It looks as if they may be drowning, but both of them are going to carry on making their points.
