This1970 experimental Czech Adam and Eve movie goes back to the garden...
This week on Weirdhouse Cinema, we discuss our first truly non-narrative film: Vera Chytilová's Fruit of Paradise. It's a lightly-comedic, surrealistic, feminist take on the story of Adam and Eve with a terrific lead performance by Jitka Nováková and a wonderful score by Zdenek Liska.
In this episode, we also reference Chytilová's Wolf 's Hole and various other Adam and Eve movies, so I'm going to drop some trailers for those here as well -- at least the ones I can find. There's even one I missed! It's 1960s' The Private Lives of Adam and Eve starring Mickey Rooney and Mamie Van Doren!
Alright, next week on Weirdhouse Cinema, 1955's Tarantula will take to the hills! In the meantime, be sure to check out the merch store and follow us on Letterboxd! All the movies we've covered are listed there in our list and you can click "read notes" to get links to the individual episodes posted here.
