SUMMARY:🎬 Mourning Becomes a Muse: Murdering the Devil (1970)
DTSTAMP:20260520T215230Z
DTSTART:20260625T183000Z
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 it
	s most daring and\nessential architects. Blacklisted by the Communist regi
	me and pushed to the\nmargins of film history. A screenwriter\, costume an
	d 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\nMurdering the Devil\nEster Krumbachov
	á | 1970 | Czechoslovakia | 72’ | EN subtitles\n\nA long-neglected gem of 
	feminist satire\, the only feature solely directed by\nEster Krumbachová. 
	Murdering the Devil transforms domestic ritual into a darkly\nfunny explor
	ation of gender\, loneliness\, and power. Set almost entirely inside\nan o
	rnate Prague apartment\, the film follows an unnamed middle-aged woman kno
	wn\nonly as “Her\,” who prepares lavish dinners for a former crush\, the g
	luttonous\nMr. Devil. As he devours endless meals while quoting Freud and 
	Nietzsche to\nexcuse his chauvinism\, their nightly encounters grow increa
	singly absurd and\ngrotesque.\n\n“A woman in the kitchen was\, once again\
	, just a woman in the kitchen\, not an\ninquisitive female Faust.”\n
