‘Broken Voices’ Review: A Young Girl’s Dream Becomes A Nightmare In This Indelible Czech #MeToo Drama – Karlovy Vary Film Festival


'Broken Voices' review: A young girl’s dream becomes a nightmare in this indelible Czech #MeToo drama – Karlovy Vary Film Festival

Indeed, for most of its running time, the villain of the piece — based, visually as well as thematically, on the real-life case of Bohumil Kulínský and his scandalous 30-year tenure as leader of the Children of Prague choir — simply appears to be something of a bully, keeping his more sinister motivations firmly under wraps. It could also see Broken Voices going all the way through to awards season, following the path beaten by İlker Çatak’s The Teachers’ Lounge in 2023, being a similar, quietly devastating study of a young woman locked into a nightmare world where every seemingly good intention soon goes stomach-churningly sour. Title: Broken Voices Festival: Karlovy Vary(Crystal Globe Competition) Director/screenwriter: Ondřej Provazník Cast: Kateřina Falbrová, Juraj Loj, Maya Kintera, Zuzana Šulajová, Marek Cisovský, Ivana Wojtylová, Anna Michalcová, Anežka Novotná, Markéta Kühnová Distributor: Salaud Morisset Running time: 1 hr 44 mins
