Lemonade Joe also known as Lemonade Joe or the Horse Opera is a film directed by Oldrich Lipský, based on a series of short stories by Czech writer/animator Jirí Brdecka. It was the Czechoslovak entry to the 1964 Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.

Probably the most well known of the spoofs on Western culture and cinema (which included science fiction, comic strips, and spy movies) to come out of the Czech New Wave—and in my opinion the most effective—Lemonade Joe is a hilarious musical parody of the Wild West inspired by B grade silent era westerns and infused with that wonderful Czech sense of satirical comedy that holds universal appeal.Read More »

Description:
Six juvenile delinquents are subjected to a social experiment by the authorities, who place them in a home in the inner city of Stockholm. Krister is a naive young social worker who is assigned to observe their behaviour; he believes in the goodness of man and that everybody can change their ways. The overall supervisor and mind behind the experiment is a middle-aged man refered to as the Inspector. He represents the hypocracy of the system, and is also the one who eventually goes on to rape one of the boys.

The experiment is one of observation: the boys are free to go wherever they want and whenever they want as long as they reside in the home that was appointed to them by the authorities. As the days go by, we get to follow them into a life of cheap thrills and petty crimes. But what could have been the start of a friendship between them, soon enough escalates into anarchy and meaningless cruelty.Read More »
