德拉克的回归

与StefanUher和EloHavatta一样，EduardGrecner也是60年代斯洛伐克新浪潮电影的缔造者之一。他的三部影片《一周七天》（1964）《尼绒月亮》（1965）和这部《徳拉克的回归》都是斯洛伐克新浪潮电影的代表作。这部叙事方法独特带有明显意识流风格的黑白影片甚至间接影响到了后来法国导演格里耶在捷克拍摄的两部影片《说谎的人》和《EdenandAfter》。AspecialplaceinthedevelopmentoffeaturefilmsisreservedforEduardGrecner,thecreatorofjustonegoodfilm,DragonReturns(Draksavracia,1967),titledafterthenicknameoftheleadcharacter.AfterhisinitialworkwithUher,Grecnermadehismarkasaproponentoftheso-called"intellectual"film,theantithesisofthesociologically,orrather,sociallycriticalfilm.Grecner'sgreatrolemodelwasAlanResnais,ayoungFrenchfilmmakerwhosoughttointroduceSlovakiatotheideaoffilmasalabyrinthinwhichmeaningsarecreatednotbystories,butbycomplexconfigurationsofdialogue,shots,andvariouslayersoftime,thusdifferentiatingfilmfrombothliteratureandtheater.InDragonReturns―thestoryofasolitaryherowhoisneededbyvillagerslivingfarinthemountains,butwhoisrejectedbythematthesametimebecauseofhisdetachment―Grecnerbroughtthetraditionoflyricizedprosetolifethroughawholeseriesofformalaesthetictechniques.AlainRobbe-GrilletimmediatelydevelopedthisideainthefilmshotinBratislavaTheManWhoLies(Slovak:Muz,ktoryluze;Frenchtitle:L'hommequiment;1968),andperfecteditinEdenandAfter(Edenapotom,1970).
