Adela Has Not Had Supper Yet (1978) ****

Oldřich Lipský's Adela Has Not Had Supper Yet (Adéla jeste nevecerela) (1978) is a delightful, absurdist, action adventure romp. This cult Czech picture is populated by weird and wonderful characters (including a parody of dime store novel detective Nick Carter), gadgets, and situations—plus a beautifully designed carnivorous plant by famed animator Jan Svankmajer. Deaf Crocodile Films continues to impress me with their curation of strange, unique, and fun films.
