In the time of Counter-Reformation, a miller and his son come under investigation by a priest of the Inquisition, when rumors spread that their prosperity comes from working with the Devil.
The Devil's Trap is a film directed by František Vlá?il, based on a novel by Alfréd Technik, adapted by František A. Dvorák and Miloš Kratochvíl. It was the first of three historical dramas that Vlá?il made during the Czech New Wave (technically he isn't really a part of the New Wave, however these films were made during the same era of artistic freedom), preceding his more well known Marketa Lazarová (1967) and Valley of the Bees (1968).
Set in the late 16th Century during the Catholic Reformation, in the Moravian Karst, situated in what is now the Eastern Czech Republic, it tells the tale of a miller (Vítezslav Vejrazka), and his son Jan (Vít Olmer), who come under suspicion and are investigated by a Jesuit priest of the Inquisition (Miroslav Macháchek), when rumors of witchcraft are spread by the local regent (Cestmír Randa), who is jealous of the miller's prosperity and degree of respect among the local populace.
As expected from Vlá?il, this film is a stunning experience all the way through. From the opening shot, an ominous manipulation of perspective with a close up of a mangled figure of Christ dominating the foreground against a tiny figure in black walking along the horizon, to the breathtaking confrontational finale inside the vast stalactite filled Karst caverns, it is a wonderful display of visual mastery.
Maybe not quite as impressive as Marketa Lazarová, but still full of astonishing imagery. As seen from unique angles and distinct points of view which highlight the director's remarkable sense of awareness of framing, motion, and positioning on the emotional and dramatic tone of the scene. The most memorable being a repeated shot where the camera is suspended and launched with speed through the air towards the miller's door.
The story here is a simple one and I would say more accessible than his later works. With a conventional structure emphasized as much by its plot and characters, than by its expressionistic cinematography or authentic historical detail. The events play out without much surprise, and there is a strong underlying, almost supernatural, mysterious aspect that is left unresolved, in fact barely explored, which is slightly disappointing, but only because it's so fascinating that I wish there was more.
Acting is great all around. Particularly the villains: Miroslav Macháchek as the priest, casting a sinister and imposing shadow wherever he goes, and Cestmír Randa as the weasel like regent behind all the persecution. While Vít Olmer brings a charismatic leading man presence in his role as the miller's son Jan, in love with the lovely orphan girl Martina (Karla Chadimová), who becomes a dangerous object of rivalry between Jan and other young men of the village.
The film also features the evocative music of Zden?k Liška (perhaps the most prolific composer of the Czech New Wave). In this his second of eleven collaborations with Vlá?il, his compositions are used sparingly, but to great effect, complimenting but never overpowering a scene. The best example of which can be heard in an amazingly shot celebration and dance sequence at the end of the second act.
The Devil's Trap might not be a masterpiece, but it is still a strong effort, with a fascinating straightforward story and a glorious historical setting captured beautifully by Vlá?il's unmistakable visual prowess. A fine work that would also be the perfect starter plate to prepare yourself for the challenging feast of Marketa Lazarová or The Valley of the Bees. It even has an easy to digest running time. It's therefore puzzling why this gem remains largely overlooked and ignored.

各个方面都算不上多么出彩，但看着就是很舒服的作品
感觉很一般呐....新生代奥的剧场版都这种水平线的吗....
算是对特利迦系列的补完吧，也算是圆了特利迦其他的几个坑了，果然换了编剧和监督各种问题都迎刃而解了。可能是对TV的恶意满满吧，整部影片看下来也就新声代中等偏上的水平，台词还是略尴尬，由于篇幅限制导致中间某些情节没有安排的很好，没有刻意的斯迈路的情节，反转很精彩，闪耀的回归惊艳，邪特巨大化场景貌似有点致敬麦克斯？帅就完事了。也算是圆了泽塔没有剧场版的遗憾了。希望武居导演以及各编剧能在新影片中发挥最大水平，2022年7月9日，期待戴卡奥特曼取得优异成绩！
好消息就是这部比TV还不错
我们的遥辉首次剧场版出没（撒花）可以和艾克斯剧场版并列我的最爱
完全是看在欧斯超人的面儿上多打了一颗星，平平无奇的鸡肋作品…
出版业的华尔街的狼，第三幕还不错，前两幕太拖沓了。
怎么说，确实比TV好很多，但看的时候让我想起来曾经的三部剧，《迪迦奥特曼》44话，大家懂得都懂。基地坠毁，队长鼓舞大家，我想到了《星光战士》。邪特巨大化三奥的打斗，我想到了《超8》。或者这是导演的致敬，或许是我对迪迦的执念太深，总之，虽然剧情OK，但总感觉是一部拼凑出来的电影。舞台剧寺坂赖我的表现多好啊，总感觉特利迦本来能成为爆款（毕竟是新生代迪迦），但完完全全的折在了编剧手里。有点可惜。and第56个奥特曼之日快乐！！！
看的时候我并不知道是名著改编只觉得异常反映现实，看完后一查才发现是巴尔扎克《人间喜剧》之一。原来太阳底下并无新鲜事，一样的出书不靠才华而靠你所在的圈层，一样的正炒反炒媒体收钱发稿，一样的小人物汲汲向上出卖灵魂顶上的看你依旧不过一个随时可丢弃的玩偶，人类真是几百年毫无长进。

中村优一，有点可惜。圆谷是不是终于找东映那边的来演反派了
有点平淡但不乏质感…一边看一边想到红与黑克里斯朵夫道连格雷等等…副标题可以是法国大革命期间的新闻史，男主很美
这么多男人，为什么没有男人之间大做爱的戏？为什么！？为什么！？
一开始TV版放出来时，直接碰瓷迪迦，这能碰吗？没这个能力知道吗。后来，直接看豆瓣评分，好家伙，5.2！直接变成“死马露”奥特曼！可以，作为90后老大叔的我不禁露出意料之中情理之外的冷笑，直接跳过TV不看了。（编剧久弥直树出来挨打！）后来，逛小破站，网友说是这部剧场版捞了一下，我全程面无表情看完。这么说吧:还是没能达到迪迦剧场版的高度，（毕竟珠玉在前，显得特利伽特别小丑）但作为特摄片，有跳出子供向的想法。（毕竟最后不是场外精英队边缘打call，奥特曼一人战斗，很燃，但达不到泪点）最后，还是最怀念那年变成光的时候。
把这个看作是特利迦大结局会好一些，邪特还是有那么帅！
剧情还可以，空战和摔角很棒。反派、队长、铁心队员全体演技浮夸，马景涛式大吼有些接受不能……
那会的皇族真没出息，居然还怕小报记者，大出版商也怕。
又臭又长，一边刷手机一边看，中间还差点关掉，但总算是为了爱而就活着看完了。整体观感和正剧差不多，让健吾复活首先就意味着这部剧是失败作，前段剧情拉，中段剧情憋出了点意外惊喜后接着拉，直到全片结束。中村优一全程演技不在线。会长你最后那段话又不是在拍超级战队是要闹哪样？圆谷你们可长点心吧……要无法像隔壁东映的敏子哥那样把故事的展开过程写得足够抓人眼球的话请你们别把扳机奥扣上“新世代迪迦”的帽子好吗？因为这样一部不用心制作的片子对不起观众，这样一个💩剧本更是对不起除中村优一以外所有认真工作的演员的努力。另外就是建议圆大爷给队长，马铁心（大雾），眼镜妹各自好好出一部外传丰满一下人物，这几个人物塑造得实在是太脸谱化了，更是无法和胜利队神七的成员们相提并论（既然你们非要把扳机奥定义为“新世代迪迦”的话）
特利迦:这么多敌人让我怎么打？一个巨型怪兽，一个邪恶的我，一个黑暗泽塔，三个小怪兽不谈，搞一个赛雷布洛还行，结果赛雷布洛搞出一个德斯特鲁多斯。我、黑暗的我和精英胜利队，怎么打？编剧你直接让我死了算了。
