Despite coming right out and having the lead character state her thesis on bullying, the word rendered in German, prügelknabe, is used in the films monologue, the most words Olga ever speaks in the picture, and it is interesting because it means both 'whipping boy' and 'beaten ones'.

Despite coming right out and having the lead character state her thesis on bullying, the word rendered in German, prügelknabe, is used in the films monologue, the most words Olga ever speaks in the picture, and it is interesting because it means both 'whipping boy' and 'beaten ones'. The experience of the film may be dire, but sometimes we need to be the prügelknabe of a film, if only that a film or piece of art teaches us simply what NOT to do. There are no answers in life, only choices.

Abused at home, beaten by the inmates of an asylum and spurned by her lesbian lover, Czechoslovakian twentysomething Olga Hepnarová (Michalina Olszanska) seeks revenge on an uncaring society and release from her intolerable life by driving a truck into a Prague tram queue on 10 July 1973.

Petr Kazda and Tomás Weinreb's first feature is a blow-by-blow dramatization in black-and-white of what led twenty-year-old Olga Hepnarová to rent a truck on July 10, 1973, and plow into twenty people on a Prague sidewalk, killing eight and injuring twelve — and becoming the last Czech woman and one of the last Europeans to be sentenced to execution.

Too much of Petr Kazda and Tomás Weinreb’s film passes by in a tone of brutalist understatement.

With its studied black and white look, its focus on a tormented young woman and its concern with crimes of the past, the Czech film “I, Olga Hepnarova” might remind some viewers of another recent Eastern European import, Poland’s “Ida.”

This film, based on an act of violence in Czechoslovakia in 1972, may be in black and white and full of gratuitous lesbian sex scenes but lord is it dull.
