After a long time search for Jan Nemec movies I finally found, downloaded and watched his film Demanty noci and …
I was stunned … this is the masterpiece of world cinematography! The film tells story about two boys escaping from a transport between concentration camps during second world war. But the story does not make this movie a gem. It is dark and brute atmosphere of their fight for life mixed with surreal introspective hallucinations of both heroes. One of the bestmoments is a escape scene in the intro when the boys run through dark, bleak and endless forests, swamps and rock fields. Hand held camera, close ups, reflections of the sun … simply pure art.
