Intieme Belichting
This wonderfully subtle comedy of provincial life is considered one of the signature works of the Czech New Wave.
Please note that this film is in Czech language, with Dutch subtitles.
Ivan Passer’s film concerns the dreams of two musician friends, one of whom, having left their small hometown to become successful, returns to visit the other who stayed behind to become a local music teacher. Focussing on the humour of the ordinary and routine, the film shows true affection and understanding for all its characters to become that very rare thing in comedy – a work of great originality and universal acceptance.
Ivan Passer, Tsjechoslowakije, 1965, 71 min. Czech spoken, Dutch subtitles.
With Zden?k Bezušek, Karel Blažek, Vera Kresadlová.
