Of Things Supernatural(1959)

movie - first aired/released 1959-01-09 - audience 5.5

Directed by Jaroslav Mach, Jiří Krejčík, Miloš Makovec

An anthology of three absurd, ironic tales inspired by Čapek’s “Tales from One Pocket” and “Fables and Side Stories,” each showing uncanny forces disrupting ordinary lives: in Krejčík’s “Glorie,” a gentle clerk is haunted by a sudden halo; the other two segments by Mach and Makovec similarly blend everyday routines with ironic, supernatural twists.
