Česká rapsodie
Résumés(1)
A melancholic film poem about Czechoslovakia after the Soviet occupation, made in October 1969 under the working title Czech Sentence. It was originally a commission for the Czech Ministry of Culture and was supposed to represent Czechoslovakia at EXPO in Osaka in 1970. (Summer Film School)
Critiques (1)
Before he fell out of favor with the regime, Vojtěch Jasný was commissioned to make a short film for the Expo exhibition held in Osaka, Japan in 1970. You can feel patriotic zeal and boundless love for the Czech nation from every shot, but to be honest - despite the short runtime, I was bored as hell with this (hyper)intellectual montage in the movie theater. Although I have to admit that the Czechs could not have shown the world a better calling card.
