What Is Virginity About?
The premise of Virginity without spoilers.
It follows a young city woman whose love is doomed by poverty. Director Vavra offers a fluid, romantic portrait of Czech Modernist cinema, focusing on the characters’ homes and desires. The film contrasts Hollywood fantasies with realistic scenes of employment queues and cramped flats, using camerawork and defeat reminiscent of Frank Borzage.
