"We have more ghosts than we have people"

Eastern Bloc Party vol. III // Unreal Realities

Eastern Bloc Party vol. III is an annual trip through the surreal, bizarre and absurd world of cinema of Eastern Europe and how they resonate with USA in the 21st century.

dir: Valeri Rubinchik - 1980 - 2 hr 6 min“We have more ghosts than live people,” murmurs the pale, haunted mistress of the mansion of Marsh Firs (Elena Dimitrova) to a scholar of ancient folklore (Boris Plotnikov) who has arrived at her castle to research the bloody legend of King Stakh, a murdered 15th century nobleman whose spirit supposedly thunders through the local woodlands. Part folk horror, part supernatural mystery, KING STAKH is a melancholy, chilling mixture of Terry Gilliam, Italian Gothic Horror, 1960s Hammer Films and THE WICKER MAN – and a major rediscovery for genre fans. The longer the young scholar stays in this mysterious house of “shadow, gloom, madness and death,” the more strange and surreal the imagery becomes: a mad widow in a white wig; a man bleeding spontaneously from his skull; a dwarf hiding in a decayed doll’s house; screeching ravens and maniacal puppet shows. Long unavailable, the film has recently been restored from the original film elements in its extended 126 min. Director’s Cut for its first-ever U.S. release!High-Brow/Low-Brow/Uni-Brow is a monthly film series programmed by Andrew Linn dedicated to exploring films from every corner of taste and seeing what they have to say with each otherz
