About The Night Guest
When a man stops at a motel one evening in 1961, his tormenting behavior drives one of the people present at the motel to remember his experiences in a concentration camp during WWII.
Directed by Otakar Vávra, The Night Guest leans on a strong ensemble — Jiří Vala, Martin Růžek, Rudolf Hrušínský — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1961.
