Cuckoo in a Dark Forest Audience Reviews

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
rozklad Set in World War 2 as the Germans occupy Czechoslovakia, teenage Emilka's (Miroslava Součková) father is murdered by the Nazis, but she is selected for special treatment by virtue of being blonde. She is billeted with the kommandant of a concentration camp near the Baltic coast, where his kindness towards her provokes his wife's jealousy, but is compromised when Emilka witnesses his brutality towards the prisoners.(Possible minor spoiler follows...)As the war ends, he abandons his wounded wife and escapes with Emilka ... but ultimately justice prevails. With its happy ending, this is little more than a simple tale of beautiful Czech girl vs. brutal Nazi, and while this may appeal to Czech patriotic sensibilities, it is otherwise unremarkable apart from 18-year-old Miroslava Součková's fine acting and beautifully expressive face.
