“With its resplendent monochrome cinematography, and highly evocative recreation of 13th Century Europe, the film is a haunting moral fable of corruption and fundamentalism, examining the conflict between human nature and dogmatism.”
Released just prior to the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, the film’s theme was given a political interpretation, and screenings were severely restricted by the authorities.
