'Marketa Lazarová' is a fever dream of Middle Ages Jun 30th 2013, 15:00, by By Sheri Linden Director Frantisek Vlacil's 1967 tale of two feudal clans is considered the best Czech film of all time. The film based on a 1931 Vladislav Vancura novel is available on DVD. Along with a pack of wolves, pagan totems, flying arrows and falling snow, several layers of narration weave in and out of the medieval saga "Marketa Lazarová," a movie that has been called aggressively experimental and, in a poll of critics and filmmakers, the best Czech film of all time.
