This psychological thriller by Milan Cieslar, based on a novel by Ladislav Mňačko, captures a collapse of the existing world of a young competition marksman who cannot bear the pressure of his ambitious parents and in passion shoots two policemen. The investigation gradually reveals problematic family background of the young murderer and points to the reasons of his failure. (texte officiel du distributeur)

Ah, the golden '90s! Cieslar not only made a great thriller from Ladislav Mňaček's unpublished short story, but also his film company Happy Celluloid. The Taste of Death has a lot in common with War of Colours, which was also shot by Petr Hojda. The enchantment with Western thrillers in this Czech version is not in the least awkward, and it works well with the believable Kukra, who is complemented by the typical mannerisms of Šplechtová, Vašut for certainty, and the debuting Šrámek, who never became an actor, and last but not least the beautiful Ivana Christová, who never had as much self-confidence as Simona Krainová, but as an actress had much more talent. An attractive film, which today seems like a memory of a time that never really was, but for connoisseurs of one of the most interesting decades of Czech cinema, it is a fine film.
