Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders - Vampiric Pressures With Coming Of Age:
Continuing our month exploring surreal worlds, Jaromil Jireš' Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders meshes ethereal fairy tale with gothic fable to unfurl a story about balancing puberty with the threat of vampirism lurking in the shadows of a devout Christian community. Difficult to categorise - Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders can be unsettling, sumptuous, amusing, and satiric - Jaromil Jireš' film also has a problematic shadow looming over its most audacious qualities that is difficult to ignore. No matter how you feel about Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders, it remains a significant milestone for the Czech New Wave movement.
