Second Run roasts THE CREMATOR (review)

Juraj Herz's alternately chilling and absurd THE CREMATOR, Kopfrkingl takes great pride in his work and espouses the virtues of cremation to potential customers.  As the influence of the Nazi party begins to seep into Czech society, the increasingly unhinged master cremator may finally find appreciation for his skills and his craft.
