The Death of Stalinism in Bohemia

In this castigation of totalitarian structures, Stalinism itself is exposed to ridicule once and for all. If there were not such a taste of bitterness to this, one might even find it funny. As it is, forty years of the history the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic pass before the viewer, and what remains is the triumph of a single person, the ideal victory of the filmmaker Jan Svankmajer over the system.
