Ucho (La oreja), película de Karel Kachyňa (1970) es una prefiguración de La vida de los Otros sobre la Cheka checa, pero con una estética peculiar—una película entre el realismo documental y lo grotesco, algo así como un cruce entre 1984 y Quién teme a Virginia Woolf?, combinando la sátira política con la cinematografía experimental. Nos centramos aquí en algunos aspectos de su uso del punto de vista y la cámara.

The Ear (And the Camera)

Ucho (The Ear), a film by Karel Kachyňa (1970) is a foreshadowing of The Lives of Others, on the Czech NKVD, but with a peculiar aesthetics—a film halfway between documentary realism and the grotesque, somewhat like a crossbreed between 1984 and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, combining satire and exeprimental cinematography. We focus here on some aspects of the use of point of view and camera work.
