"Nechcete jet do Bembrly?" is a short black and white movie adaptation of Johnny Speight's drama The Compartment. This is an absurd sketch about the unpleasant meeting of two passengers in the train to the town of Bembrly (this phonetic spelling evokes Russian language). One of them is an old serious man who is reading his newspapers and the second one is a young queasy man. The youngster disturbs the old man all the time. At the beginning he is servile, kind, but after while he becomes angry and dangerous. He starts to attack the old man and threaten him with a revolver (at the end we recognize that the gun is a dummy). The old man must fulfill youngster's bizarre commands. So it is a clear demonstration of untimely violence that can destroy everything thoughtlessly. The both performance are great. Jaroslav Marvan, the legend of Czech cinematography, and Pavel Landovský, young adept. This movie was shot in 1969, so there is many allusions to occupation of Czechoslovakia in August 1968.
