Panenství a kriminál

About This Movie

So, 'Panenství a kriminál' is this curious blend of comedy and a touch of dark absurdity. You’ve got this 16-year-old girl who's not just attractive but also quite manipulative. The whole vibe is unsettling as she tries to seduce her uncle, leading to a whirlwind of small-town drama when things go awry. The film's pacing is a bit uneven, but that just adds to its charm. Václav Lohnisky, mainly known as an actor, really infuses a unique tone here that you don’t see much in 70s cinema. The performances are lively and the practical effects, though minimal, have a certain rawness that feels authentic to the narrative's discomfort.

This film is quite scarce, often overshadowed by more mainstream titles from the same era. It had limited releases on various formats, making its appearance in collections rather rare. The interest is growing among niche collectors who appreciate its unconventional storytelling and the peculiar direction style of Lohnisky, who was primarily an actor. If you find a copy, it’s definitely a conversation starter among collectors.
