Ucho

Ucho (The Ear) is a Czech language film by Karel Kachyňa, completed in 1970. This film was banned by the nation's ruling Communist party (who were supported by the occupying Soviet forces). It wasn't released until late 1989, around the time of Czechoslovakia's first democratic elections in over 40 years.

Plot

The film is about a bitter married couple that consists of Ludvik, a senior official of Prague's ruling Communist regime, and his alcoholic wife Anna. They return home after attending a political party dinner and notice their home has been broken into. Several strange occurrences, including the disappearance of their spare house keys and dead phone lines, lead them to believe that they are under surveillance by their own government. As the night progresses, the flaws of their marriage and of each other are exposed.

    Intense Thing

    by: Ash

    Now it's too late to be using my mind
    To reason with you would be far too kind
    It's all coming down like the dark on the town
    The cold stings my tearstained face
    So now it's all over, it's much too late to say 'Oh no'
    I try not to echo everyone's dream
    But they don't exist or so it seems
    They just live inside of me
    But it's too dark I can never ever see you
    And now it's all over, it's much too late to say 'Oh no'
    Oh, she looked so lovely, standing on her own
    Oh, she looked so lonely, standing all alone
    She looked at me as she closed the door
    A stare so cold, but what for?
    I fell in love as she crossed the floor
    I need her now but she hates me more
    And now it's all over, it's much too late to say 'Oh no'
    Oh, she looked so lovely, standing on her own
    Oh, she looked so lonely, standing all alone
    Oh, she left me lonely, standing on my own
    She takes her pass so quickly
