\"\"<\/a>With vampires all the rage and a cinema smitten with mind-bending narratives built around the generic staple of the \u201cunreliable narrator,\u201d what better time is there to have a look at Czech director Jaromil Jires<\/a>\u2019 provocative 1970 cult film Valerie and Her Week of Wonders<\/a>?<\/p>\n

First coming to the world\u2019s attention with his 1963 debut feature The Cry<\/strong> (exhibited at Cannes), a film of documentary realism and social criticism that displeased his native government, Jires found his talents put on hold as Czechoslovakia\u2019s state-supported film industry turned down script after script he subsequently submitted for production. It wasn\u2019t until 1968 that Jires reappeared on the scene with The Joke<\/a>, adapted from the novel by Milan Kundera as an ambitious drama attacking totalitarianism.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve yet to see either of those films, but based on what I discovered with Valerie<\/strong>, I\u2019d be eager to explore more of his works. While Jires is typically noted as one of the earliest directors associated with the movement known as the Czech New Wave, it\u2019s fair to say he should also be more popularly recognized for creating this truly unique film that should be spotlighted in any history of 1970s horror.<\/p>\n

Mix themes of emerging female sexuality and Czech folk legends into the dream logic of Dreyer\u2019s 1932 Vampyr<\/a>; blend in the experimental\u00a0daring of Bill Gunn\u2019s Ganja and Hess<\/a> and Jan Svankmajer\u2019s Alice<\/a>; sprinkle with the sinister humor of Jose Mojica Marins\u2019 Coffin Joe epics<\/a>, and you get some sense of the weird spell cast by this creepy and poetic account of 13-year-old Valerie\u2019s (Jaroslava Schallerova) twisted odyssey through the early stirrings of adolescence.<\/p>\n

The film opens with a classic scene of invasion–a device dating as far back on film as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari<\/a>\u2014when a strange man invades Valerie\u2019s room and steals a pair of earrings from her as she sleeps. Upon awakening, Valerie discovers she\u2019s entered a new stage of life when she receives her first period, dripping menstrual blood upon a flower. Valerie shares this development with her grandmother (Helena Anyzova, delivering a truly uncanny performance), her deathly pale and aloof guardian, who encourages her to play hostess to visiting missionaries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Valerie\u2019s attention is quickly drawn to a group of traveling performers passing beneath her window, and sees (for what will be merely the first of many encounters) a chalk-white, bald, grotesquely toothy figure bearing more than a passing resemblance to Max Schreck\u2019s Count Orlok garbed in flowing black robes reminiscent of Bengt Ekerot\u2019s figure of Death in Bergman\u2019s The Seventh Seal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As the story progresses\u2014perhaps it\u2019s better to say floats oddly onward<\/em>\u2014the young Valerie disturbingly becomes an object of lust\u00a0for nearly every member of her family. When her aged grandmother makes a pact with the vampiric monster to trade eternal life in exchange for the inheritance of the household, it is suggested that the creature may represent Valerie\u2019s departed father, returning to feast on his own daughter\u2019s blood in hopes of reincarnating himself.<\/p>\n

Appearing then on the scene is a man who declares himself to be her brother and protector\u2014but, as the film soon reveals, absolutely no one in Valerie\u2019s life is to be trusted alone with her. While curiously observing men and women of the town openly and heatedly coupling in various sweaty combinations, Valerie is repeatedly assaulted by near-rapes as a \u201cplague of chickens\u201d and visions of ghouls erupt in the town.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In this vampire story, religious figures are to be feared just as much as the undead, when one of the visiting missionaries corners Valerie in her bedroom and rips open his robe to run his fingers across his hairy chest while praising the attractiveness of Valerie\u2019s breasts. Given magic talismans earlier in the film, Valerie manages to escape many perils, repelling the repellent \u201choly man\u201d and\u00a0later freeing herself from being burned alive at the stake when she is accused\u2014surprise!\u2014of being a witch after begging off sex with her tormentors.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Valerie is brought into an erotic and frightful confrontation with the bloodsucker claiming to be her father, and just when it appears the girl may have emerged intact from the nightmarishly bizarre series of events seemingly unleashed by the onset of her puberty, the film leaves us just as uncertain of the nature of reality as Christopher Nolan\u2019s Inception<\/strong> would four decades later.<\/p>\n

Valerie and Her Week of Wonders<\/strong> is a real find (check around and you\u2019ll discover I\u2019m hardly alone in that opinion), and a neglected work of subversive horror and fantasy filmmaking. The cinematography of Jan Curik, production design by Ester Krumbachova, and costumes by Eva Lackingerova are effectively fused into a potent work of surrealism that calls to mind not only the work of Lewis Carroll, but the cheeky aesthetics of \u201870s softcore erotica and a bewitching approach to nightmare folklore found in little-seen films like Russia\u2019s Viy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Also due for special recognition is the editing work done by Josef Valusiak, who assists Jires in twisting and turning the feeling of sequences from the oddly beautiful to the amusing to the eerie to the shocking, over and over and over again, constantly toying with your expectations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The movie is fixed in the logic and style of dreams throughout, making it one in which you will either \u201cgo with the flow\u201d early on or, if you demand less enigmatic storytelling, quickly abandon out of frustration. The soundtrack, mostly consisting of post-dubbed dialogue, contains a dynamic and unsettling mix of music and sound effects that adds to the otherworldly nature of the story.<\/p>\n

Other reviews for the film have touched on its wealth of historic symbolism. While I don\u2019t doubt the movie is rich with added meanings, I have to confess I haven\u2019t the background in Czech folklore or history to effectively discuss them. No doubt there\u2019s an entirely other level at which others can and will appreciate the film; I can only report that \u201csimply\u201d as a work of surrealism, shock, and inflammatory eroticism, it more than rewards viewers who might similarly lack the chops to engage in roundtable analyses of any buried sociopolitical themes. As for how the film deals with a very young protagonist\u2019s sexual awakening, I will say that the picture is explicit enough to feel incendiary while avoiding true exploitation. The possibility that any viewers might derive the wrong kind of satisfaction from a film this steeped in its artistry would be, I\u2019ll say it plainly, beyond the scope of my commentary.<\/p>\n

Put even more directly: Valerie and Her Week of Wonders<\/a> is a must<\/em>-see for fans of the macabre and a genuine cult masterwork. It\u2019s the perfect film for those seeking a bracing antidote to the routine, the predictable, the safe, and the uninspiring. It\u2019s a stunning revelation that, even in the midst of a suffocating deluge of vampire-themed product and stories that trade in teasing and tricking audiences with now-you-believe-it, now-you-don\u2019t meditations on the nature of reality, those things can instantly seem fresh and exciting all over again.<\/p>\n
