‘Calamity’: The Small Town and Railway as Allegory

Original language description

The aim of this text is to analyse and interpret the allegorical elements in the film Calamity by Věra Chytilová in 1981 in the context of contemporary social and existential situations; to describe individual elements of allegory; to prove that they are presented through different symbolic elements (specifically the ideological and artistic) which transform the relation of the allegorizing and the allegorized. The initial allegorical agents in the film Calamity are formed through the title of the film where the word ‘calamity’ produces three meanings: a natural phenomenon, a social (and implicitly political) situation and an existential crisis.
