Faithless Marijka (1934) - Vladislav Vancura

A slightly fragmented and weak story about the life of a wood cutter. The film is a curiosity today in its depiction of the town's Jews, who are shown with characteristic long beards, big noses, and of course money grubbing swindlers. In ths light the film may seem a little tough, but looking at the time it was made, one shouldn't be too surprised. The main character here has his house burnt down, and after rebuilding it, eventually loses it to the hands of Jews because of his unpaid debts. In the process a little marital infidelity is thrown in. This film was none too captivating for me, and has gone largely forgotten.
