1023 - The Cremator (1969)

Random Acts of Cinema

Czech director Juraj Herz takes us on a dreamlike journey into madness of an employee at a Prague crematorium both before and during the German invasion leading to the Second World War. Or is he really trying to account for the madness of collaboration in a nation struggling with its own involvement with the holocaust? Well, we certainly can’t say, but this film certainly seems to ask that question. *Come support the podcast and get yourself or someone you love a random gift at our merch store.
