Sometimes a bad look from a stranger can give one's life a bad spin. This is the case of the fate of the owners of a mysterious portrait of a mean loan shark that brings doom on all his owners and negatively influences the careers of several artists. This post-war psychological horror is based on a same-name short story by Nicolai Gogol. (Summer Film School)

The Portrait falls within a short period between the post-war nationalization of Czechoslovak cinema and Victorious February, which meant the end of artistic freedom. In those less than three years, Czechoslovak cinema was on the rise, there was more money, and it was not necessary to desperately try to please the audience, so a few really good films were made, and The Portrait is proof of that. it is a very decent mysteriously toned horror film based on the classic story by Gogol. Despite the passage of time, it is still a fully functional film today, it has atmosphere and several excellent performances led by Vladimir Šmeral, who delivered a great study of gradual personality decay. Overall impression: 90% (considering the time of its production).
