The 59th Karlovy Vary Film Festival Pays Heartfelt Tribute To Jiří Bartoška, Honors Vicky Krieps And Peter Sarsgaard


The 59th Karlovy Vary Film Festival pays heartfelt tribute to Jiří Bartoška, honors Vicky Krieps and Peter Sarsgaard

Karlovy Vary is famous for not being precious about its honorary awards; each year’s trailer features a previous winner trash-talking, misusing or even destroying the event’s distinctive Crystal Globe statuette. Filling the stage with androgynous women dressed in black and making sometimes terrifying use of pure white light and heavy industrial techno, the latest interpretative dance extravaganza appeared to be a Lynchian comment on the parlous state of today’s world.
