Abstract

The article focused on the film by Czech avantgrad filmaker Gustav Machaty in 1932. The eroticism of the film is interpreted in the context of the bio-social movements popular in between the wars, which were formating the sexual and social pattrens of women.This context is confronted with the humanistcs but also misogynic thinking of Emanuel Rádl.
