The Cremator
1969 · ★ 7.6 · Dir. Juraj Herz
NO ONE WILL SUFFER
Mr. Kopfrkingl enjoys his job at a crematorium in Czechoslovakia in the late 1930s. He likes reading the Tibetan book of the dead, and espouses the view that cremation relieves earthly suffering. There may be another idealogy that fits snugly with his existing worldview.
