Fantastic And Chilling
Juraj Herz’s The Cremator, lost to Western audiences for many years before being recently rediscovered by the Brothers Quay, is an extraordinary surreal meditation on the political horror of 1930s Europe. Hrusínský’s remarkable title performance literally and figuratively fills the screen, an alarming depiction of a deceptive and compulsive character slowly inhabited by Nazi political dogma. In some respects The Cremator recalls Polanski’s claustrophobic nightmare Repulsion, though this is arguably even further out than Polanski could manage. Utterly devastating but incredibly watchable (the 90 minute running time passes in a heartbeat), this is a real find. I posted this comment because I was aware that the only other comment on the film was negative, and I really do believe it is worth your time checking this out.

Brilliant, Contemporary and Cruel.
“The Cremator” is a once “lost” film from the Prague Spring. An exquisite evisceration of fascism, desire and all things political, the film was hidden in the vaults of FAMU (the Prague Film Academy) as an agricultural film (along with many others) after the Soviet tanks rolled in. “The Cremator” was revealed to the world in pristine condition and with force only a few years ago, and its message is for today. Absurd, frightening and beautiful – the film reminds me not so much of its 1930’s, pre-Nazi setting as today’s America.

Kafka is never far from “The Cremator” – the central character evokes “The Trial” from the point of view of a willful bureaucrat rather Joseph K., and therein lies its power and clarity: what if we agreed to willful ignorance and xenophobia simply to get ahead and be accepted? Errol Morris’s “Mr. Death” is the only Western Film that comes close to examining this issue – “The Cremator” goes deep into the heart of the very human mechanism that made the Holocaust possible – perhaps inevitable, given the forces at play. This is a dark and important film.
