Erotikon is a 1929 silent erotic melodrama film by Czech director Gustav Machatý based on a screenplay by Vítězslav Nezval.
Machatý and his cinematographer Václav Vích used modern American lenses making the image very soft.
[1] The movie was praised by critics for its Soviet-style montage and visual storytelling through symbolic imagery; however, most journalists criticised its weak story.
In 1933 Czech and German sound versions were made with the music by Erno Košťál.
[1] The movie was reconstructed by Czech Film Archive in 1994 with new chamber music by Jan Klusák.
