I haven't seen Chytilova's other work - I know she did one before this about a model (it was half-documentary or something?) and then was silenced for a while after the Stalinist crackdown. What other movies would you recommend - and are they generally available?
MovieMan: The only DVD I've seen is her segment of Pearls of the Deep (my post is called "pearls and lace")
I haven't delved too deeply into tracking down other works that may be available - yet. There is a great resource in town called Le Video that rents out obscure and out of print DVDs. I'll be paying them a visit sometime as I periodically do, clutching my ever-growing WANT TO SEE list.

Great movie.
Yes, equal parts "too crazy" and "not crazy enough."
I'm a big fan of this director.
