For this episode, we’re dipping back in to the archive of writing on the Klassiki Journal for an essay on the Slovak maestro of the macabre, Juraj Herz, written and read by Sam Goff. Best known for his controversial and politically charged 1969 horror film The Cremator, Herz remains the great outsider of the Czech New Wave – a Holocaust survivor who mined his personal trauma to produce some of the most striking gothic visions to be found anywhere in communist-era cinema.
