Kolja (1996)
Too sweet, too nice
Well, *eh*, like a Czech citizen I couldn't say, that this film is bad. It's a well-done work of the "young" Sverak, but every time I read comments like "wonderful", "best movie" or something like that, it makes me sick. You all the film fans from the USA, Australia and other non-european countries, just try to watch some of the Lubomir Lipsky comedies - now THAT is HUMOUR ! Or -if you prefer art movies- watch the magically amazing black and white pictures from the New Wave {O slavnosti a hostech - for example}, including Forman's Czech films /of course/. KOLYA IS NOT THE BEST FROM OUR CINEMATOGRAPHY !!!
Limonádový Joe aneb Konská opera (1964)
Typically Czech ...
Oh yes, you may watch it even if you are an American or Japanese, but - what for ? You will not understand all of these jokes so typical for the Czechs, like you will not understand all of the jokes in Hasek´s Good Soldier Svejk. But you may try - I voted 10 points for this film ...
