This Czech psychoactive period piece is bizarre and impossible to pin down but strangely joyful and almost ephemeral in the parts.

A phantasmagoric world of thirsty vampires/father figures, dark arts and dreamy free love is soundtracked by psych-folk and avant-garde classical music that has since inspired contemporaries like Broadcast, Fursaxa, Islaja and Espers.

Valerie is terrifying and beautiful; a Gothic nightmare in broad daylight.
