Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (Czech: Valerie a týden divů) is a 1970 Czechoslovak Gothic surrealist coming-of-age psychological dark fantasy horror film[1][2][3] co-written and directed by Jaromil Jireš, based on the 1935 novel of the same name by Vítězslav Nezval. It is considered part of the Czechoslovak New Wave movement.[3] The film portrays the heroine as living in a disorienting dream, cajoled by priests, vampires, and men and women alike. The film blends dark fantasy, eroticism and Gothic horror genres.[4]
