Jenůfa
"Better a scarred face than a scarred soul."
Originally released in 2019. Jenůfa is a music/drama film. directed by Martin Glaser.
Starring Pavla Vykopalová, Jaroslav Březina, and Tomáš Juhás
Synopsis
When a beautiful young woman in rural Moravia becomes unexpectedly pregnant, she learns that love is sometimes only skin-deep. Janáček took Gabriela Preissová's grim tale of infanticide and redemption, and condensed it into a masterful, spine-chilling drama. The tragic plight of the protagonists is presented with unsentimental realism that cannot help but trigger a response of deep compassion. Premiered at the National Theatre in the composer's hometown of Brno 115 years ago, the opera took him nine years to complete and is the first in which his distinctive voice can clearly be heard.
