The positive reception to Věra Chytilová’s radical film led to a member of Parliament issuing an official critique. Looking for ways to keep it from being seen, it was eventually banned….for the wastage of food. The ban would lift for a few months before the Soviet’s invasion and suppression banned it again and blacklisted Chytilová from making films for years.
