In the late 1930s, the owner of a Prague crematorium takes great pride in his work, believing his services hasten the liberation of departed souls. As the Nazi shadow falls over Czechoslovakia, the cremator's expertise becomes a valued commodity, one that the morbid artisan becomes ready to exploit through a warped distillation of his Buddhist beliefs. Visually striking, grimly humorous film stars Rudolf Hrusinsky, Vlasta Chramostova. 100 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: Czech; Subtitles: English bonus short "The Junk Shop" (1965); featurettes; theatrical trailer. In Czech with English subtitles. Two-disc set.
