Valerie and Her Week of Wonders

Beguiling and decadent, Jaromil Jire Valerie and Her Week of Wonders mixes horror, fairytale, surrealism and Freudian symbolism to depict the phantasmagorical world inhabited by a young girl on the threshold of adulthood. Haunting and dreamlike, the film is a work of pure imagination, and has become a cult classic.

With its stunning visuals and a remarkable, transcendent score by the great Lubo Fi er, Valerie and Her Week of Wonders casts a powerful spell and is one of the most enduring and influential fantasies ever made.
