Pearls of the Deep
Comedy
A manifesto of sorts for the Czech New Wave, this five-part anthology shows off the breadth of expression and the versatility of the movement’s directors. Based on stories by the legendary writer Bohumil Hrabal, the shorts range from the surreally chilling to the caustically observant to the casually romantic, but all have a cutting, wily view of the world.
VIBE
A playful, yet sharp, anthology that dives into the absurdities of life. Its avant-garde spirit and dark humor offer a unique, sometimes unsettling, but always fascinating, look at human nature.
