The Horns

An animated grotesque for adults about how a hornless devil grew horns and in exchange lost his beloved wife. It has humor, almost a deep dive into the relationships of two genders and marital life. And as a bonus, the pleasant voice of narrator Zdeněk Svěrák. Overall impression: 90%. (25/10/2009)

I like verbal humor, but here all those devilish similes, proverbs, sayings and God knows what else were too much. If it weren't for Svěrák's narrative skill ("One more time, and we'll cancel the newspaper!") and Uhlíř's flawless music (the main motif was used a few years later to create the song “To je hezky"), there wouldn't be much that would be worth it.
