The time period of this film is from 1938 to about 20 or so years later.
In fact 2 actors play the lead''Jan.
Ivan Barnev is Jan as a young man,
Uhlrich Kaiser as the older Jan Both are excellent. In fact all the acting is excellent.
Juri Menzol directed & wrote the screenplay taken from a novel by Bohumil Hrabai
It is extremely well made & directed.
Then why have I given this only a 7 rating?
I could not tell what type of film this was, The time period is from when Hitler invaded Czechlosvakia in 1938 & ends about 19 years later. There were very dramatic earth shaking times,.
The entire film is made in a light vein almost comedic.
I knew what was happening, I did not find in amusing/
I may have missed something,BUT what was it.
I did like what I saw, I just do not know what I saw,.
Someone please tell me if this was a satire or a comic look at a tragic time.
Ratings ***(out of 4) 83 points (out of 100) IMDb 7 (out of 20)
