Josefina

The Czech variation on George Bernard Shaw's well-known "Pygmalion" is excruciatingly bland, verbose, and unfunny, at least by today's standards. It's simply a piece pulled from the dusty corner of the television archive, and now holds only historical value as a showcase of the youth of today's seasoned actors. Not least, it's also evidence of Hana Zagorová's considerable acting potential, which she didn't get to explore much due to her pop music career. Josefina also highlighted her musical talent. Overall impression: 40%. (14/12/2009)
