Shot in stark black and white and full of strange dreamy surrealism, conveying the cremator's increasing mania, the film uses a number of arresting visual techniques like rapid-fire montage, extreme close-ups, a dazzling use of wide angle lens, and a wonderfully disorientating editing style that shifts time and space from scene to scene, causing the viewer to readjust his focus of where and when the film is taking place. Highly recommended ! | The only Czech film I own is Closely Observed Trains.
