En abril de 1968, cuando la Primavera de Praga parecía desplegarse sin límites, los estudios Barrandov dieron el vamos a uno de los proyectos más audaces de la Nueva Ola del cine checoslovaco: la historia de una niña que vive a mitad de camino entre un mundo de fantasía y de horror. Para cuando las cámaras se encendieron meses después, la Primavera era un recuerdo, Praga estaba ocupada por tanques soviéticos y el equipo de filmación trabajaba bajo el radar de un régimen que ya no tenía uso para la adaptación de la extraña novela de Vítězslav Nezval, acerca del ensoñado universo de Valerie, quien vive junto a una abuela, tiene un novio que la salva del peligro y un padre que, todo indica que es un vampiro. O al menos eso parece, porque las cosas van cambiando conforme la propia Valerie cambia su estado de ánimo y su aproximación a lo que la rodea. Escrita por Ester Krumbrachová —guionista de la hoy legendaria Margaritas (1966), de Vera Chytilová—, la película es una fábula acerca del final de la infancia y la inminente llegada de la pubertad, una fascinante relectura de los cuentos infantiles y las tradiciones folklóricas de Europa del Este y, por si fuera poco, el último de los clásicos checoslovacos que relatan esa revolución que la juventud emprendió contra la generación de los jerarcas, que detentaba el poder. Jóvenes versus viejos. Hijos versus padres. Fantasía versus realidad. Infancia versus adolescencia. De eso y más se habla en este podcast.

LEMORA: A CHILD'S TALE OF THE SUPERNATURAL (1974), directed by Richard Blackburn and starring Cheryl Smith and Leslie Gilb. VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS (1970), directed by Jaromil Jires and starring Jaroslava Schallerová. Quite by happenstance I watched both of these films recently and was struck by their similarities. Two young girls, Lila Lee in the American South and Valerie in Czechoslovakia, are each experiencing the perilous journey into womanhood. Both are pursued by lecherous clergyman, amorous lady friends, relatives, and vampires within dark fairy tale landscapes. Will one or both succumb to the temptations laid before them, or emerge with their purity in tact?

VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS,1971 (Valérie au pays des merveilles) du cinéaste Tchèque Jaromil Jires. Cette semaine au 7ème Antiquaire on reçoit Alexandre Fontaine Rousseau pour nous guider dans un voyage surréaliste avec un film qui ouvre une porte vers cette zone confuse entre l'innocence de l’enfance et l'impureté de l'âge adulte, tout en parlant en parallèle d'un autre passage important que vécu la Tchécoslovaquie durant cette période. Va y avoir des fleurs, des vampires, des rituels et des menstruations (on sera pas trop loin de Wicker Man pour les intéressés).
