The Ear

Czechoslovakia 1970 | 94 minutes | Czech | Hebrew subtitles

After returning home from a political assembly, a deputy minister concludes that he is about to be politically persecuted and plans to minimize damage. The Ear takes place throughout one night and describes how, together with the political fractures, the cracks in his marriage are broadening. This masterful psychological drama, an outspoken indictment of totalitarian regime practices, was filmed in a freer atmosphere in the late 1960s but did not reach audiences until after 1990.
