About Priehrada
The construction of a large dam in Slovakia is hindered by the influence of small farmers on the landowner Bujna, on whom they depend for help with the harvest and for monetary loans.
Directed by Paľo Bielik, Priehrada leans on a strong ensemble — Alexander Kautnik, Gustáv Valach, Mária Kráľovičová — 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 1950.
