Shadowplay7/3/2023 The worker’s grating screams and pleas render her speechless and motionless. From a fair distance, Eva observes a man savagely beating a gas station employee. Jan is gathering his stuff after he and Eva got in a fight while she’s jogging, trying to clear her head. The director wastes no time fostering the disquietude. The film opens with close-ups of Jan (Milan Ondrík), Jan’s wife Eva (Dominika Moravkova), Detective Dvorak (Vladimir Javorsky), gym owner Michal (Hynek Cermák), and a young woman named Greta (Leona Sklenickova). The film follows a group of people who will soon be left to pick up the pieces of their fractured lives. While the concept, a craving for revenge, has been done time and time again, the filmmakers deconstruct the varying layers of grief and guilt, especially when rage is at the foundation. Directed by Peter Bebjak and written by Vendula Bradácová, Shadowplay ( Stinohra ) is a Czech-Slovak crime thriller with a despairing tone and gut-wrenching vision.
