Entertainment Reviews:
Imagine GAME OF THRONES simultaneously filtered through Ingmar Bergman and Alejandro Jodorowskya....A sprawling, purposefully disorienting historical epic...
A.V. Club
Episodic in structure, the film proceeds like a folk saga, but its flashbacks, flash-forwards, and abrupt cuts give it a hallucinatory quality.

Chicago Reader
It's stark, daring and often astoundingly dynamic.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
In less than a minute, before the film's opening titles even conclude, Marketa Lazarová has announced itself as something potentially unique, perhaps indefinable.

Slant Magazine
... a film of primal imagery, poetic filmmaking, and ephemeral storytelling that looks hewn out of the stone and wood and the very earth of the ground beneath it.

Cinema as a guide to the unknowable.

Rating: 4/4 --
Director Vlacil does not try to romanticize medieval knighthood but creates an atmosphere of mysticism and superstition, with excellent results.

Product Description:
Vladislav Vancura's novel MARKETA LAZAROVA was based on a centuries-old Czechoslovakian legend. The film version concerns itself with a group of pillaging feudal lords. Though they regard themselves as noble knights, these lords are a raping, robbing lot, slaves to the many superstitions that grip their land. Magda Vasaryova plays Marketa Lazarova, whose misadventures begin when she is kidnapped and abused by the "protagonists." Director Frantisek Vlacil spares us nothing in bringing the Vancura novel to the screen, not even a gruesomely convincing public beheading.
