Thinpak conversion of the scanned cover of the Criterion issue of "
The Shop on Main Street (Obchod na korze) (1965)" (Spine #130). Standard Amaray cover is posted
here and the label scan is posted
here.
An inept Czech peasant is torn between greed and guilt when the Nazi-backed bosses of his town appoint him “Aryan controller” of an old Jewish widow’s button shop. Humor and tragedy fuse in this scathing exploration of one cowardly man’s complicity in the horrors of a totalitarian regime. Made near the height of Soviet oppression in Czechoslovakia, The Shop on Main Street features intense editing and camera work which won it the Academy Award™ for Best Foreign Film in 1965.
Cheers!
