Martyrs of Love

Movie backdrop

This three-part ballad, which often uses music to stand in for dialogue, remains the most perfect embodiment of Nemecā€™s vision of a film world independent of reality. Mounting a defense of timid, inhibited, clumsy, and unsuccessful individuals, the three protagonists are a complete antithesis of the industrious heroes of socialist aesthetics. Martyrs of Love cemented Nemecā€™s reputation as the kind of unrestrained nonconformist the Communist establishment considered the most dangerous to their ideology.
