March 23rd 2015.From the great Czech filmmaker Vera Chytilová, renowned director of Daisies and Fruits of Paradise, comes a controversial and disturbing satire of violence, violation and veterinary practice.
Traps is a feminist black comedy about a vet who, after being raped by two men, uses her particular expertise to take her revenge. Oscillating between tragedy, comedy and the grotesque, the film is an analysis of morality, power and twisted masculine attitudes in contemporary society.
Chytilová is a filmmaker with a reputation as both provocateur and philosopher - and Traps is an angry, funny, socio-critical film about thuggery, impotence and sterilising the ruling classes.
This provocative feature is presented for the first time ever in the UK.
