Two curious extraterrestrials land with their dustbin at a panel-house estate one day. 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. Who would like to be selected as a perfect sample of mediocrity and insignificance that, moreover, cannot lie? 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 »

In the near future in Czechoslovakia (the movie was made in 1961, after all), a space flight is in the final stages of preparation. As the astronauts are being interviewed, Joseph the upholsterer (Milos Kopecký) is gluing the last bits of padding in place. Joseph is lazy and incompetent, and always complaining — the classic goof-off who tries to shift blame to anywhere but him. While his supervisor berates him for being behind schedule via the communicator screen in the ship, Joseph manages to kick the takeoff switch and the rocket takes off into space with him as the only passenger.Read More »

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 »
