Coach to Vienna
A steely willed Czech woman armed with an ax plots revenge on the Nazi soldiers who have forced her to accompany them on their journey to Vienna in this atmospheric thriller—featuring costumes by Krumbachová—about the extremes to which war drives ordinary people.
Near the end of World War II, a pair of Austrian soldiers fleeing the Russian front force a steely Czech woman (Iva Janzurová) to accompany them through a mist-shrouded forest back to Vienna. Little do they know that the woman they are holding at gunpoint is the grieving widow of a husband killed by Nazis just that week and is hell-bent on vengeance, packing an ax hidden beneath her horse cart. Such is the setup for this atmospheric thriller—featuring costumes by Krumbachová—which begins as a tense revenge tale and gradually morphs into a harrowing human drama about the extremes to which war drives ordinary people.
