First of all I bought this movie because I saw a still from the movie-a shot of Paula Pritchard. WOW! Secondly-I am learning Czech in anticipation of a trip to the Czech Republic in 2002, and I am also reading about the Czech "New Wave" cinema in a book by Peter Hames. I see the reoccurring theme/symbol as the lamp inside the house.There seems to be some "time-tripping" going on as well (ala Pulp Fiction or Slaughterhouse Five). I'm going to have to watch the movie again, and again, and again to understand more of what is going on. Of course looking at Paula is fine in its own right…

After watching the movie once or twice, I went looking for the book it was based on– The Woman Who was Found Adrift– but there seemed to be no English edition. The film seems to be about plain people enmeshed in a situation rife with symbolism, but it's hard to work out the symbols. Today, tricked too many times by meaningless David Lynch films, we might just assume that there is no underlying message; but the film is a little too old– and a little too intelligent, I think– to be a put-on.IMDB Reviewers
