Often described as the ‘last’ film of the Czech New Wave, Juraj Herz s delirious tale of terror is a fantastical and surreal phantasmagoria of dark
desires and splintered minds. Morgiana, based on a short story by Aleksandr Grin, (the ‘Russian Poe’), is the story of two sisters, Klára and Viktoria
who live a life of decadent excess stranded somewhere between the mid-19th and early 20th century.
