The cultural liberalization of communist Czechoslovakia in the 1960s produced many artistic accomplishments, not least the celebrated films of the Czech New Wave. This movement saw filmmakers use their new freedom to engage with traditions of the avantgarde, especially Surrealism. This book explores the avantgarde's influence over the New Wave and considers the political implications of that influence. The close analysis of selected films, ranging from the Oscarwinning Closely Observed Trains to the aesthetically challenging Daisies, is contextualized by an account of the Czech avantgarde and a discussion of the films' immediate cultural and political background.
