A crazy comedy from the high fashion modeling environment in the style of The Devil Wears Prada and Zoolander tells the story of two rival modeling agencies led by two icons of the Czech fashion scene, former girlfriends, but for 40 years implacable rivals. In 1967, both participated in the Miss Czechoslovakia competition, but only one won and the other could not bear the defeat. Since then these two ladies, by now already of certain age, have had a brush with one other and have done spiteful things to each other. And they have been vying with each other in finding a new Eva Herzigová so that they could make a long nose at the other from international fashion catwalks. (official distributor synopsis)

Pardon my French but "Holy shit…" I had to check a couple of times what year this masterpiece was made in, and it still boggles my mind, Based on the visuals, I would have guessed at least thirty years ago. I didn't need to worry too much about the quality of the script, as Mr. Laňka buried it right from the start with the line: "And you wouldn't be able to bask in the shadow of my fame." That blew me away, and I immediately had to refresh myself with a sip of molten lava. If it weren't for Eva Perkausová's ample bosom, there wouldn’t be anything worth my interest. The whole "film" was just about overplaying, recycling "celebrities" on the brink of oblivion and product placement so typical of Czech films. It was a horrific experience, and I felt sorry for Jiří Štěpnička.
