Something Different / A Bagful of Fleas (region-free DVD)

For Vera Chytilova, documentary and fiction were two equally adventurous processes. Something Different (1963) follows two women - one strand as a documentary of real-life olympic gymnast in training, whilst the second is the fiction of a discontented housewife. In A Bagful of Fleas (1962), young factory girls defying imposed rules are played by non-professionals and the film shot in a free-wheeling cinema verité style. A Bagful of Fleas is a world-premiere release on DVD.
