Bohemian Rapture or The Violin and the Dream (Czech:Housle a sen) is a 1947 Czech historical drama film directed by Václav Krska and starring Jaromír Spal, Václav Voska and Karel Dostal.[1] The film portrays the life of the Czech violinist Josef Slavík, a contemparory of the Frédéric Chopin, and a rival of Nicolo Paganini.

In 1948 the film was released in the United States by the arthouse distributor Artkino. This release is sometimes treated as a separate film, but is simply an English-subtitled version of the Czech original. A New York Times review of the film was negative, criticising it as "an unusual but decidedly confusing and unrewarding offering" and attacking in particular its use of disjointed flashback sequences.[2]
