\nIFC Films
\nReviewed for Shockya.com & BigAppleReviews.net linked from Rotten Tomatoes by: Harvey Karten

\nScreenwriter: V\u00e0clav Marhoul, from the novel by Jerzy Kosinski
\nCast: Petr Kotl\u00e1r Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd, Harvey Keitel, Barry Pepper, Julian Sands, Udo Kier, Lech Dyblik
\nScreened at: Critics\u2019 link, NYC, 6\/26\/20
\nOpens: July 17, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

In \u201cLeviathan\u201d (1651) Thomas Hobbes calls life \u201csolitary, nasty, brutish and short,\u201d and \u201cA war of every man against his neighbor.\u201d Every picture of Hobbes shows an unsmiling man, looking disgusted, contemptuous, and constipated. Yet as we know after we lose our innocence that there is more than a smidgen of truth in such a pessimistic manifesto. Still, the dour philosopher may have smiled just once from his grave when the movie \u201cThe Painted Bird\u201d was first shown in film festivals. V\u00e0clav Marhoul wrote and directs the epic drama inspired by Jerzy Kosinski\u2019s book about a shattered post-war Europe, which Amazon calls the story of \u201ca dark-haired, olive-skinned boy, abandoned by his parents during World War II, wandering from one village to another, sometimes hounded and tortured, only rarely sheltered and cared for.\u201d (Kosinski committed suicide at the age of 57, his novel available on Amazon for under $14.)<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Painted Bird,\u201d which was the Czech Republic\u2019s submission for the Academy Awards held in 2020 did not make the short list for Best International Film, but I would rate it as good as South Korea\u2019s \u201cParasite.\u201d The title is metaphorically taken from an event in which a painted bird, up for sale amid scores of others, is released and promptly killed by a flock flying hither and thither, because they apparently consider him \u201cThe Other.\u201d The inability of people to respect those who are not like them, who look different or follow different customs did not die out after World War II but is a concept relevant today as we in America mourn the killing of African-America men by white police officers. The whole of \u201cThe Painted Bird,\u201d showing human beings cruel to a cute and polite but mute young man abandoned by his parents is an allegorical tale. Therefore, take \u201cThe Painted Bird\u201d as a journey of authorial cherry-picking that displays, with few exceptions, a society of people in war-torn Eastern Europe taking out the misery of their own lives on an innocent boy.<\/p>\n

Written and directed by V\u00e0clav Marhoul, whose \u201cTobruk\u201d deals with a World War 2 battalion of Czech soldiers in the Libyan desert, \u201cThe Painted Bird\u201d is seen from the point of view of young Joska (Petr Kotl\u00e1r) in a startling breakthrough role. Joska wanders through Eastern Europe during the war, only occasionally running into action by German soldiers, Russian Cossacks and regular army, but his troubles come not much from fighting units but mostly from local peasants. The boy is mute throughout but is able to hear dialogue spoken in German, Russian, Czech, and what\u2019s labeled Slavic Esperanto. For most of the running time, Joska, who is Jewish but rarely outed as such, is pleasant looking, obedient, polite, and seemingly able to put up with tortures of ordinary people either driven to hostility from the deprivations of the war or simply full of hate. <\/p>\n

In the earlier part of his wanderings, he is picked up by a handful of ignorant peasants, the most gentle of whom calls him a vampire. He becomes enslaved by the superstitious hag. In the movie\u2019s goriest scene, he witnesses a stolid, unsmiling Miller (Udo Kier) who at dinnertime overturns the table on a younger guest because he is convinced that the fellow has been staring with lust at his wife (Michaela Dolezalov\u00e1). He gouges out the man\u2019s eyes with a spoon and feeds them to the cat, who is too finicky to bother. A sympathetic Joska carries the eyes to the newly blind victim who is lying, sobbing by a tree, beckoning him to replace the eyes in his socket as though they are contact lenses. Later Hans (Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd), a German soldier, is ordered to take the boy for a walk and shoot him, but Hans, one of the few sympathetic characters, orders Joska to run, firing two shots into the air. Another character who shows a rare humanity is a priest (Harvey Keitel), who takes the boy into his church, fixing him up with a crucifix, asking Garbos (Julian Sands), a pedophile, to take care of him. Bad decision.<\/p>\n

In the picture\u2019s most action-filled episode a group of Russian Cossacks gallop into a village, shooting the residents and torching the houses. We hope that no kid in the United States today has to go through what this pre-adolescent lad did\u2014surviving rapes, in one situation thrown into a latrine filled with poop and in another forced by a sex-crazed young blond woman to perform fellatio on her.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Painted Bird\u201d is only tangentially a Holocaust film, a subject that the Czech filmmakers know well since releasing \u201cThe Shop in Main Street\u201d in J\u00e1n Kad\u00e1r and Elmar Klos\u2019s 1965 \u201cThe Shop on Main Street,\u201d in which a carpenter in a Nazi-occupied Slovak state is appointed Aryan Controller of a Jewish widow\u2019s store. That picture won the International Film\u2019s Oscar as did Jir\u00ed Menzel\u2019s \u201cClosely Watched Trains\u201d two years later.<\/p>\n

Opinions of \u201cThe Painted Bird\u201d might vary from those who think the movie is little more than a relentless succession of tortures to those who, like me, consider it an epic drama in sharp black-and-white that both captures human beings acting in extremis during wartime and displaying irrational hated even here in America during a fragile era considered by some to be a relative peacetime.<\/p>\n
