Le commandant du camp de concentration Kraft s'aperçoit par hasard que le détenu Kominek est un ancien boxeur professionnel. Du jour au lendemain, il devient alors le sparring-partner de Kraft et obtient, malgré lui, une position privilégiée au sein du camp. Mais son attitude change après la mort de son ami Venzlak...
La sortie du BOXEUR ET LA MORT fut retardée pour des raisons idéologiques pendant des années. L'innovation qu'il aurait représenté en 1956 fut donc moins surprenante en 1962, même si le film demeure une des oeuvres les plus fortes jamais réalisées sur les camps de concentration. Le film obtint une reconnaissance internationale avec plusieurs prix au Festival de San Fransisco. Figure de proue du nouveau cinéma slovaque, Solan impose ensuite une oeuvre satyrique très personnelle mais stoppée après 1970 et la normalisation.

Version originale slovaque sous-titrée en français Jakub, facteur rêveur et magicien en herbes, jongle entre les colis et les services rendus aux villageois. Lors d'une tournée, son regard croise celui de la belle gitane Jolanka.

A key film from Slovak cinema’s golden era, Eduard Grečner's Dragon's Return is a radical fusion of ancient folklore and experimental modernism - and an exciting rediscovery.
A reclusive potter, Martin Lepiš - nicknamed 'Dragon' - is exiled from his isolated mountain village. Years later he returns, aiming to win back the trust of the villagers, but his re-appearence instead engenders an atmosphere of suspicion, guilt, and simmering violence. Set at an unspecified time in the distant past, in a world ruled by superstition and seemingly isolated from history, this deceptively simple story is imbued with mythic qualities.

LES OISEAUX, LES ORPHELINS ET LES FOUS est le 3ème film de Jakubisko, nouveau chef-d'œuvre, confirmation internationale d'un grand cinéaste. Figure de proue du cinéma slovaque, avec Hanak et Havetta, surnommé le Fellini de l'Est, Jakubisko créé le film, au titre inspiré par la Bible, sous le choc de l'occupation soviétique de 1968. Film censuré, et redécouvert en 1991, il apparaît d'une totale modernité. Malgré la censure, Jakubisko n'a jamais cessé de tourner jusqu'à aujourd'hui.

Ranked among the five best Slovak films by Slovak and Czech film critics, Juraj Jakubisko's long-repressed tale of love, death and insanity focuses on the unconventional relationship between two men and a Jewish orphan girl (Marketa Lazarová's eponymous Magda Vášáryová) as they travail a war-torn landscape of bombed-out churches and wrecked homes. Their triangular relationship echoes Truffaut's Jules et Jim - but Jakubisko's protagonists have no romantic ideals; they are all orphans, products of an absurd world in which war, violence and death predominate.
