vondráèková about bathory

My name is Lucy like in real life, and I’m Countess Bathory’s maid. I like her very much and… I survive. From my point of view, from Lucy’s point of view, Bathory is the greatest person in the world… I like it because the script isn’t about the legend; the script is about how it could have been. This is the third film I’m making do with Juraj Jakubisko and in every film that we’ve made together I was crystal and pure in the film – just like here. So, if you can imagine the renaissance era and the evil things being done around Bathory – I’m absolutely the opposite. Here, what I find tough is that you’re around many people from the Czech Republic, they always speak our language, Czech, but I have to act in English, which drives me crazy
