1957 film by Paľo Bielik

It is 5 May 1945 and the uprising against the hated German occupiers has broken out in Prague. The Czech guards open the gate of the Pankrác prison to allow the prisoners to escape en masse. Many of them are shot dead by the German guards but young Ruda (Jaromír Hanzlík) manages to run away. He is taken care of by one of the Prague fighters, concierge Kytka. Kytka hides him in the flat of the house's owner where only the young maid Karla (Jana Brejchová) is left, ordering her to take care of Ruda.

这部战争片于捷克斯洛伐克实地拍摄，故事发生在森林里的一座古堡，主人公为自己创造了性格、过去和感情，但最终一切现实又反了过来，把他推回了森林中的炼狱。L’Homme qui ment缺乏传统意义上的连贯情节，但是其复杂的对称、逆转与颠倒模式能提供相较正常叙事毫不逊色的快感与满足。
