...spectrum we find Milos Forman, director of Peter and Paula and A Blond in Love, whose gentle touch conveys exquisitely subtle shifts of mood. At the other end stands the team of Jan Kadar and Elmar Klos, who have created in The Shop on Main Street a film of enormous impact and meaning...
This is surely not The Nuremburg Trials; The Shop on Main Street gains its power by restricting itself to the study of one village. Hitler is hardly mentioned. Instead we are constantly reminded that the soldiers and henchmen are Czechoslavakian themselves, often residents of the village.

And as with four others among the 40 cases, say the investigators, it is the anxiety, not the metal in his heart, that has kept him from working...
