A film with a very Nordic style, and the photography style is also more refined. Reminds me of the Danish film - Life Moves On.
A story that begins with a small ancestral home. On the barren plain, grandparents and grandchildren are two people. The grandmother died miraculously, and the grandson set fire to his house in panic. It's really the genes of arsonists. Accidentally homeless and turned into Nomad land.
He accidentally went to a village where the Polish people believed in the Orthodox Church and was taken as a puppy by a witch. They often go to exorcism, like sticking a lamp in the patient's ear or something. He suddenly encountered a miraculous disease. At this time, the little boy's disease could not be cured, so the old witch buried it in the soil and lit torches all around. When he woke up, he was attacked by crows. This passage impressed me deeply, kind of magical.
It drifted to Miller, the miller. I didn't expect this guy to be a human demon. Because he suspected his wife of adultery, he cut out the eyes of the resident of the house, which is really impressive.
The next chapter encounters a bird catcher, at this time a coquettish pagan woman, who is very plump, they are doing that, and the little friend is stunned. The old man played a cruel game, smearing oil on the bird's wings, then the flock came and pecked it, and finally hollowed it out, like a heresy spurned by human society. At this time, the woman was also beaten to death by the crowd. The old man felt hopeless, hanged himself, and the child released all the birds he caught.
Hans. In fact, it was the German army, and it was supposed to be a sudden death of a Jew, but this Hans, who is also a skilled Swedish actor, released the little boy, and then released the empty gun twice. At this time, the background of World War II is finally reflected positively. And the death train with Jews on it. Many people jumped off the train and were immediately shot. Then the Czech villagers, that is, the Czech villagers who believe in the Orthodox Church, stepped forward to pick up the leaks and took away all their property. On the land of the East House, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Yugoslavia, such things have happened.
Father and Garbers.
