Horror Story 1993 (6.9)

The distinctive artist, typographer, and writer Josef Váchal is known to the public primarily for his Blood Novel. The surrealistic exuberance of this defense of 19th-century pulp fiction caught the attention of Jaroslav Brabec and his colleagues, who found a corresponding image of 20th-century "trash." The authors' interest focuses primarily on the silent film era, with a journey through the history of cinema continuing through the advent of sound film to the present day (auteur cinema of the 1960s, modern horror), formally employing techniques such as tinted film. The versatile parody intertwines a colorful plot with the story of the author (Váchal/Paseky), who comments on and creates his book, and is further split in the plot into the characters of Fragonard and the Master. As with Váchal, reality increasingly enters the fiction, so that the only "happy ending" turns out to be the artist's finished work.

At the same time, Leon envies the rich sex life of his neighbor Tomáš, who works as a television producer, filming journalistic reports on fraud and corruption, with Vlaďka as his assistant. Leon's brother-in-law Evžen is a member of a religious sect and tries to recruit Leon, but Leon resists. The story unfolds against a backdrop of misunderstandings arising from unclear information and constructions created by the individual characters...
