Juraj Herz's extravagantly hallucinatory Gothic horror story is often described as the last film of the Czech New Wave. Based on a short story by Aleksandr Grin, the film tells the story of two sisters: the sweet-natured and beautiful Klara and the ugly, bitter Viktoria (both played by Iva Janzurova). Viktoria, consumed with jealousy, wreaks revenge on her more popular sister by gradually poisoning her until she begins to lose grip on her sanity.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. Often described as the 'last' film of the Czech New Wave, Juraj Herz's delirious tale of terror is a fantastical and surreal phantasmagoria of dark desires and splintered minds. Morgiana, based on a short story by Aleksandr Grin, (the 'Russian Poe'), is the story of two sisters, Klára and Viktoria who live a life of decadent excess stranded somewhere between the mid-19th and early 20th century. Klára is blonde and beautiful, whilst Viktoria is ugly, sadistic, bursting with hate and jealousy - and hatches a terrible revenge by slowly poisoning her more popular sister. As the poison takes hold, Klára begins to lose grip on her sanity... Part fairy-tale, part Gothic horror Morgiana is a full-blown hallucinatory experience from the director of The Cremator.
