Marketa Lazarova (1967) is a classic Czech film by the great filmmaker Frantiek Vlil (1926-1999). It is showing under the auspices of the Gaborone Film Society at the A/V Centre at Maru a Pula School at 7 pm sharp.

Set in Bohemia in the 13th Century, Marketa Lazarova is an amazing historical Film-Opera that delves into a Europe that was changing from paganism to Christianity. Marketa is about to enter a convent, when the rivalry between two clans intervenes and she is taken as spoils by one of them.

The film opens with the errant sons of Kozl’k (played by Josef Kemr), Mikolas (acted by Frantisek Veleck) and Adam or 'Jednorucka' the one-armed (Ivan Palœch). Mikolas and Adam, who commit acts of banditry on unwary travellers, rob and kidnap a young Saxon nobleman, whose father escapes. Their robbery will bring down the wrath of the King upon Kozlik and his clan.
