Reviews

Jerzy Matysiakiewicz In last few days I've made my own home festival of Czech movies. Today in cue was Hrebejk's "Pelisky". Some times ago I've watched his Musime Si Pomahat so I expect great film. But today's movie touched me very deep, reminding some moments from my life. I was born in 1952 so in 1968 I was in same age as young characters of the movie. In august I was on my holidays in the little town in south Poland where my granny lived - just about 150 km from the border of Czechoslovakia. For the rest of my life I will remember the sound of the soviet warplanes heard 20/21 August. I've been watching this movie with the tears in my eyes. I knew all the songs from the CSR big-beat groups because in 1967/68 I've everyday listen the Stanice Hviezda from Ostrava - 80 km from my home town. Really, really great movie. Understandable not only for the Czech & Slovak people.

molitor-1 This is a beautiful Czech movie where laugh and misery is mixed with melancholy and hope. Worth to see, but only if you know something about European history.Or you can learn just by watching it. Jiøí Kodet is an excellent actor. I have been enjoying his part most of all.

JBC-2 I have just seen the Australian premiere of this wonderful Czech film at the Sydney Film Festival. Jan Hrebejk takes us back to the months preceding the ill-fated Prague Spring of 1968. It is a most entertaining black comedy from start to finish. Hrebejk is up there with Menzel and Forman and I eagerly await to see his next film.

andyruff A beautifully understated story of ordinary people living their everyday lives through the trying times of Christmas '67 and the Prague Spring during the run up to the Soviet invasion. While the setting has be caught with stark and depressing realism, the film is perfectly balanced with a gently comic and bittersweet observation of the families and their relationships as they struggle through events from the mundane to the tragic. Personal loss, both of freedom and of loved ones, and the way life still manages to go on has been captured with deceptive ease and without resorting to the usual cliches and predictable attempts at closure that so often seem to pollute western cinema of this type.
