Episode 65: Marketa Lazarova + I Killed Einstein, Gentlemen
Episode description
Jonathan Owen joins us this week as we venture into Eastern Europe to lift the lid on the greatest cinema you've probably never heard of. Together we Czech out (see what I did there? And sorry about that) Marketa Lazarova (1967), directed by František Vláčil, and I Killed Einstein, Gentlemen (1970), directed by Oldřich Lipský. Sublime dark-age psychedelic freak-out paired with ridiculous comedy of errors with a sci-fi Surrealist twist.
It's not really possible to spoil I Killed Einstein, Gentlemen but we will call out Spoiler Territory for Marketa Lazarova. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 1:21:27 mark to avoid spoilers.
