Directed by Gustav Machatý.
Both melodrama and film noir, Jealousy tells the story of a suicidal émigré writer whose lack of success makes him increasingly depressed, jealous, violent and willing to commit murder; yet it is he, not his young wife who falls victim to a murder of passion. A story of exile and loss: loss of the mother country, of success, of self-esteem, of a loved one's affections and of freedom. The film's schizophrenic atmosphere is underscored through strong diagonal compositions and typical film noir high-contrast lighting.
