Murdering the Devil

Dir. Ester Krumbachová (1970) | Czechoslovakia | Czech | 105 min | DCP

Programmed by Julie

This singular directorial film by New Wave costume designer and writer Ester Krumbachová, known as ‘The Queen of Czech Film Design’, features a delicious social critique on love and marriage and the extent that a woman might go to, to romance a man unworthy of the crumbs at her feet. Set primarily within the fortysomething bachelorette’s apartment, a visually stunning array of costuming and set design come through in dressings of beautiful teal and shades of brown, velvet furniture and floral motifs that make you wonder why on Earth she would ever want a man there to ruin it all. With dark humor and a cheeky inner monologue that delights, its absurdist commentary on gender constructs quickly led to Eastern Bloc censorship and Krumbachová was blacklisted from ever directing again. A real treat to the eyes and soul, a love letter to women everywhere that a beautiful life you build alone is always better than settling for a dusty, devilish man.
