Martyrs of Love
The crash on Highway 101 killed three people and changed five more. For a group of young Czechs, life becomes a frantic, absurd pursuit of connection, where romantic gestures are both ridiculous and sacred. Director Jan Němec crafts a surreal and chaotic 1967 romance-comedy, a whirlwind of stolen kisses and existential longing. This is a film where love is the only serious joke in a world turned upside down.

Director Jan Němec constructs a world where romantic yearning transforms into absurd spectacle. His vision hovers between tenderness and parody, rendering familiar emotions as something strange and dreamlike.
This picture suits viewers who appreciate gentle melancholy and can smile at their own quests for connection. One leaves with a bittersweet recognition of love's fragile, ridiculous nature. — MovieFinder Editorial
