A banal yet curious crematorium operator of dubious German bloodline, expands his business in the recently occupied
Czechoslovakia. Despite intelligence and sensitivity, initial reservations are overcome with little persuasion,
and Mr. Kopfrkingl soon demonstrates an aptitude to his new masters.
While it is a sad and shocking film, there is, as with other CZ\SK masterpieces, some hauntingly beautiful music and cinematography, with what even now seem like inventive flourishes.
