ADELA HAS NOT HAD SUPPER YET (1978) Dir. Oldřich Lipský

Nick Carter, America’s Greatest Detective, is called to Prague at the turn of the century to investigate the case of a missing dog. Instead, he uncovers a wacky plot by his old nemesis The Gardener involving a carnivorous plant that gets very hungry when it hears Mozart.

This cult comedy by Oldřich Lipský is a beloved classic of Czech cinema. Written by animator Jiří Brdečka and featuring stop-motion effects by Jan Švankmajer, cartoon antics and comic strip adventures are vividly parodied in live action. Packed with ingenious steampunk gadgets and beautiful fin-de-siècle costumes, this film is also a treat for eyes.
