René - The Prisoner of Freedom

Leading Czech documentary filmmaker Helena Třeštíková follows up her rawly authentic documentary portrait René (2008) with another look at the life of this irredeemable deliquent and sharp social commentator. Like its predecesor, part two of her unique long-term project presents a snapshot of the times as it records its protagonist’s relationships and hope for a normal life.
