Hynek Bočan was a member of the Czech New Wave who drew his inspiration from literary works and displayed an exceptional sense of social irony and sarcasm in the films Nobody Will Laugh (Nikdo se nebude smát, 1965), Private Storm (Soukromá vichřice, 1967) and Honor and Glory (Čest a sláva, 1968). Deadpan humor, a sense of atmosphere, and an intellectual approach to the subject matter were characteristic of Bočan’s talent.Read More »

Synopsis:
Approaching middle age, the Blakeleys – architect Robert and his brash, overbearing wife Zee – are Londoners who are able to indulge in their collective and individual narcissistic wants because of their financial standing and the fact that they have no children. They have a passionate love/hate relationship based largely on those individual wants. At a party, they meet widowed Stella, a couturier. Robert is immediately attracted to her. Robert and Stella openly embark on an affair, which for Robert is merely the latest dalliance in his life. However, the two fall in love, as, for Robert, Stella fulfills those parts of his life that Zee can’t or won’t since Stella is the antithesis of Zee: understanding with an air of serenity. Zee does whatever she can to disrupt what seems to be the idyllic life that Robert and Stella have set up for themselves, moving from one measure to another as each successive one doesn’t achieve what Zee wants. Through it all, Robert and Zee continue on with their love/hate relationship, one where Stella may merely become a pawn for them to play with, especially as Zee discovers something from Stella’s past.

Quote:
The movie depicts some episodes of the life of a noble in the Rome of the early XIX century. Loosely based on folklore accounts about the real Onofrio del Grillo (who actually lived in the XVIII century), this character plays a number of pranks, one even involving Pope Pius VII. The movie won two David di Donatello, four Nastri d’Argento in 1982 and a Silver Bear as Best Director at the Berlin International Film Festival, still in 1982.Read More »

Their task is to study the human race by studying Dr. Jánský, an average worker of the Institute for Relations with the Extraterrestrial Civilizations, whom their presence drives mad.

The playful comedy by Oldřich Lipský is entirely based on the central couple, Mr. A and Mr. B, performed by the comedian duo Lasica – Satinský, topped up by the drawings by Vladimír Jiránek.Read More »
