About
You can stream The Cremator (1969) on Criterion Channel with a subscription, or rent on DocAlliance Films.
In 1930s Prague, a Czech cremator who firmly believes cremation relieves one from earthly suffering is drawn inexorably to Nazism.
Surreal, macabre, and drenched in a feverish black-and-white dreamscape, this Czech classic turns a morbid obsession into a chilling political allegory. A polite technician finds a terrifying spiritual purpose in the rising shadows of Nazi ideology.
