Wonderful homage to silent cinema.

"Krvavy Roman" is based on the book called "A Sanguinary Novel" written by famous Czech painter,typographer,author and philosopher Josef Vachal.He tries to put several stories into his novel.The stories which are delightfully weird and bloody.The use of colors in "Krvavy Roman" is particularly impressive for example we see red,green,brown,mauve and even black & white.The film looks like an outlandish fairy tale with nudity and occasional bursts of gore.The location sets are surreal and look like paintings.The piano/violin score is wonderfully melancholic.The gore is awesome for example we see fingers severed with a knife or multiple decapitations.7 pirates out of 10.An unique viewing experience.
