CRY

Original 1965 Russian 24 3/4 inch x 40 3/4 inch Poster for the 1963 Jaromil Jires Historical Drama THE CRY (KRIK), based on a collection of writings by Ludvík Aškenazy and starring Josef Abrhám, Eva Límanová, Eva Kopecká, Jirí Kvapil and Slávka Procházková

The film, entered into the 1964 Cannes Film Festival, is often described as the first film of the Czechoslovak New Wave, a movement known for its dark humor, use of non-professional actors, and “art-cinema realism”. The film’s events are ambiguous, leaving it to the viewer to determine whether the telling is objective or from a character’s point of view (and if so, whose).
