Near WWII’s end, a pair of Czech Jewish teenagers (Antonin Kumbera, Ladislav Jansky) take the chance of slipping off a Dachau-bound transport train and fleeing into the surrounding woods. Their hallucinatory and terrifying experiences on the run pose as much peril as their eventual discovery by locals, in Jan Nemec’s stark and gripping feature directing bow; adapted from Arnost Lustig’s autobiographical opus "Darkness Has No Shadow." 67 min. Standard: Soundtrack: Czech; Subtitles: English; bonus shorts "A Loaf of Bread" (1960), "Arnost Lustig Through the Eyes of Jan Nemec" (1993); featurettes. In Czech with English subtitles.
