Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders (Czech: Valerie A Týden Divů) is a 1970 Czechoslovak Gothic coming-of-age surrealist dark fantasy horror film co-written and directed by Jaromil Jireš, based on the 1935 novel by Vítězslav Nezval. It is considered one of the last films of the Czechoslovak New Wave movement. 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.
