A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
Virtual Curtain
One of the most technically sophisticated videos by Pilař, made in the then founded Visual Connection studio. The unifying motif of the work is fluidity: the presence of water surface or reflections of drops that slowly wash away the colours. Called "total painting" by Pilař, the technique, as he saw it, represented the final fusion of the painterly language with animation, collage, and electronic images.

Critics & Reviews
3 featuredI walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.
A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
