| Summary: | Five short films by the greatest directors of the Czech New Wave make up this extraordinary anthology ; based on the stories of legendary Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal, the films represent a range of artistic expression and human emotion. Of all the cinematic New Waves that broke out over the world in the 1960s, the one in Czechoslovakia was among the most fruitful, fascinating, and radical. With a wicked sense of humor and a healthy streak of surrealism, a group of fearless directors began to use film to speak out about the hypocrisy and absurdity of the Communist state. |
