Movie Reviews of Adelheid
Movie Review: Adelheid
Summary: 1 Stars
Had I had any idea how bad the movie was, I certainly would not have bought it. Not only that the story goes nowhere, it doesn't make much sense. I don't know where Mr. Vlacil lived during the communist era of Czechoslovakia, but it was not there. Any airman who served during World War II in the British RAF and returned home after the war would have probably gone straight to a concentration camp - he certainly would not have been allowed to keep his rank. I knew many that had to turn around and escape once again to preclude mistreatment by the communists. I also witnessed the deportation procedures of many Sudeten Germans after the war and I can tell you that Adelheid of the movie had a lot more freedom than she would have had in real life. The photography is nothing to write home about, either. All in all, watching this movie was a waste of 99 minutes.
Summary of Adelheid
The first color film by Czech master director Frantisek Vlacil (WHITE DOVE, THE VALLEY OF THE BEES), ADELHEID spins an emotional tale about two lovers trapped in the march of history. In the aftermath of WWII, a Czech airman returns home from his tour of duty with the British RAF, intending to claim a German factory located in the Sudetenland along the Czech-German border. There he meets the beautiful Adelheid, the former owner's daughter who once lived in the estate but is now reduced to servitude. The Czech airman falls in love with Adelheid, but lingering resentment over the war and bitter political strife stand in the way of their happiness.Art House & International DVD Video
