A sensuous, often suspenseful fable saturated with shades of Sigmund Freud, Lewis Carroll and the Marquis de Sade, the horror comes in the form of actual, traditional fanged vampires who can shape-shift and cause all kinds of deadly mischief.

Worth watching for its visual splendor, engrosssing soundtrack, and charming fairy-tale narrative, Czech director Jaromil Jires's 1970 film also challenges contemporary sensibilities.

A confounding surreal dream-like film.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
There is no clearly-defined story; the film's logic is that of the subconscious, its images those of the Gothic fairytale and the psychiatrist's couch, and its overall effect is stunning.

Time Out
Rating: 3/4 --
Moments of pure and frightening clarity, mixed with images that can't be reconciled with any kind of reality. These dreams don't offer coherence, but rather a strong, deep feeling that can take hours to shake.

Rating: 4/5 --
Lovely to look at, there is some social satire, but this works mainly on a level of myth and magic.

A born director like Mr. Jires can be forgiven a lopsided beauty that still commands full attention.

Product Description:
This dreamlike fairytale captures the coming-of-age of a young Czechoslovakian girl. After receiving a pair of earrings, strange things begin to happen to Valerie. As her burgeoning sexuality sparks even more haunting escapades, Valerie must contend with an explosively surreal world that challenges and inspires her. Jaromil Jires' film is a surprisingly sensitive and visually spectacular.
