Marketa Lazarová

"A colossal—and very nearly interminable—hodgepodge of medieval mayhem and myth."

"Stark, daring and often astoundingly dynamic."

"Arguably the most convincing film about the Middle Ages ever made."

"In less than a minute ... the film has announced itself as something unique, perhaps indefinable."

"The film proceeds like a folk saga, but its flashbacks, flash-forwards, and abrupt cuts give it a hallucinatory quality."
