A thunderstorm, a railroad guard’s house, a night with consequences: Gustav Machatý’s *Erotikon* tells the story of young Andrea, who falls for a passing seducer—and encounters him again years later. With bold close-ups and a visual language of desire that was astonishingly free for its time, this film—starring Ita Rina—is considered one of the masterpieces of late Czech silent cinema.
