Roztancované kráľovstvo

Dedinský sen

1984

An old woman dreams her last dream in the house where she has lived all her life, but now she has to leave it. Divided into five separate, internally coherent parts, the story recapitulates her life while remaining a universal final recapitulation of each individual's life. Its wit is primarily based on the charm of its specific verbal expression with original slang expressions.

A New Boy Started Today

1981

In his feature debut, Dneska přišel nový kluk (A New Boy Started Today) from 1981, the director Vladimír Drha set the tone for a number of Czech films, which critically depicted the state of society from the perspective of young protagonists. Although, Drha primarily found scope for his work in television, he returned to the world of a “working youth” in his second film Mezek (The Mulish Victor, 1985) – albeit following him from the point of view of an educator.

Black Saturday

In this crime story, surprisingly, neither the all-powerful criminals nor the spies or saboteurs are pursued, as was once common. The plot is almost mundane: someone unwittingly siphoned off alcohol from a tanker, unaware that it was deadly methyl alcohol, intended for industrial use. Finding out where the poison has been transported and which people it endangers requires painstaking work.
