The film’s central tension is achingly simple: Marketa turns 18, the age of legal freedom, yet finds herself more trapped than ever. Her mother (a brilliant, brittle Ivana Milic) sees her daughter’s art as a morbid phase. The boys her age are clumsy predators. And Marketa herself seems to be dissolving, literally—there’s a recurring motif of her body fading into backgrounds, her edges softening like an overexposed negative. Picnic at Hanging Rock
