About Přicházejí z tmy
In a South Bohemian village in 1951, the local rich organize acts of sabotage and try to stop the establishment of an agricultural cooperative with threatening letters and arson. A kulak's son even secretly returns from the West to terrorize the village with his brother. However, the ordinary villagers stand up to them.
Directed by Václav Gajer, Přicházejí z tmy leans on a strong ensemble — Jarmila Kurandová, Josef Mixa, Adolf Král — 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 1954.
