SUMMARY:🎬 Mourning Becomes a Muse: A Report on the Party and the Guests (19
	66)
DTSTAMP:20260520T215704Z
DTSTART:20260620T183000Z
DESCRIPTION:'Mourning Becomes a Muse' reconsiders Ester Krumbachová not as 
	a figure\nlingering at the edges of the Czech New Wave\, but as one of its
	 most daring and\nessential architects. Blacklisted by the Communist regim
	e and pushed to the\nmargins of film history. A screenwriter\, costume and
	 set designer\, and director\,\nKrumbachová infused the movement with its 
	surreal visual extravagance through\ncollaborations with Věra Chytilová\, 
	Jaromil Jireš and Jan Němec. \n \n\nA Report on the Party and the Guests\n
	Jan Němec | 1966 | Czechoslovakia | 71’ | EN subtitles\n\nA small group of
	 bourgeois guests head for a birthday party of a prominent\nfigure. As the
	y go through the woods and have a picnic\, they are suddenly\nsurrounded b
	y a bunch of suspicious strangers. When one guest suddenly leaves\, a\nstr
	ange and disturbing manhunt unfolds through the woods\, led by the host’s\
	nentourage\, a hunting dog\, and eventually many of the guests themselves.
	\n\nTwice banned and now regarded as one of the most important and controv
	ersial\nfilms of the Czech New Wave\, it was the second feature collaborat
	ion between\nmarried director Jan Němec and Ester  Krumbachová. Starring m
	any prominent Czech\nintellectuals and cultural figures of the time\, its 
	unsettling allegory of\ntotalitarianism and conformity proved far too prov
	ocative for state censors. A\ndaring\, dark satire adapted from a short st
	ory by Ester Krumbachová.
