In 1973, Olga Hepnarová (Michalina Olszańska)--a 22-year-old Czech emotionally scarred by an abusive upbringing and institutionalization, and conflicted with her own homosexuality--purposefully plowed a truck onto a crowded Prague sidewalk, killing eight and injuring a dozen more. The troubled times and troubling motivations of Czechoslovakia’s last executed murderess are starkly limned in this sobering true-crime biopic. Martin Pechlat, Klara Meliskova, Marika Soposká also star. 104 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Czech; Subtitles: English. In Czech with English subtitles.
