与StefanUher和EloHavatta一样，EduardGrecner也是60年代斯洛伐克新浪潮电影的缔造者之导演选择克制的艺术语言。现代修复技术激活历史影像，全彩上色丰富视觉体验，画面呈现增强空间感。但影片不炫耀技术，整体色调保持沉稳。整体场景处理含蓄有力。色彩管理体现历史意识，声音设计追求简约表达。。他的三部影片《一周七天》（1964）《尼绒月亮》（1965）和这部《徳拉克的回归》都是斯洛伐克新浪潮电影的代表作。这部叙事方法独特带有明显意识流风格的黑白影片甚至间接影响到了后来法国导演格里耶在捷克拍摄的两部影片《说谎的人》和《EdenandAfter》。　　AspecialplaceinthedevelopmentoffeaturefilmsisreservedforEduardGrecner,thecreatorofjustonegoodfilm,DragonReturns(Draksavracia,1967),titledafterthenicknameoftheleadcharacter.AfterhisinitialworkwithUher,Grecnermadehismarkasaproponentoftheso-calledintellectualfilm,theantithesisofthesociologically,orrather,sociallycriticalfilm.Grecner'sgreatrolemodelwasAlanResnais,ayoungFrenchfilmmakerwhosoughttointroduceSlovakiatotheideaoffilmasalabyrinthinwhichmeaningsarecreatednotbystories,butbycomplexconfigurationsofdialogue,shots,andvariouslayersoftime,thusdifferentiatingfilmfrombothliteratureandtheater.InDragonReturns―thestoryofasolitaryherowhoisneededbyvillagerslivingfarinthemountains,butwhoisrejectedbythematthesametimebecauseofhisdetachment―Grecnerbroughtthetraditionoflyricizedprosetolifethroughawholeseriesofformalaesthetictechniques.AlainRobbe-GrilletimmediatelydevelopedthisideainthefilmshotinBratislavaTheManWhoLies(SlovakMuz,ktoryluze;FrenchtitleL'hommequiment;1968),andperfecteditinEdenandAfter(Edenapotom,1970).
