Wolf's Hole
Director: Věra Chytilová
1987 / 92min / DCP
Wolf’s Hole opens looking very much like a Czechoslovak take on the contemporary American ski chalet-set teen sex romp, with a group of hand-selected youngsters coming together at an exclusive skiing workshop… but by the time it’s wrapped up, Chytilová’s film has arrived a million miles downhill from the likes of Hot Dog… The Movie and Ski Patrol. Strange goings-on will be nightly occurrences at the titular getaway, the instructors seem to be conspiring on a sinister plot that makes the Stanford prison experiment seem benign by comparison, and as a creeping paranoia gradually overtakes the group, the sick comedy that unfolds inside the lodge turns as black as the powder outside is white.
