Plots(1)
Producer Čestmír Kopecký had originally wanted to make a film about the changing face of Brno, but in the end director Robin Kvapil and co-writer Pavel Šplíchal created something more closely resembling Šplíchal's ironic blog Prigl. In their "lovingly anarchistic" film, Brno forms the epicentre of a sarcastic look at Czech society. The naive and vacuous communist-era documentary with which Kvapil's film opens gives way to the reporter's bitter monologues right in front of the camera. These are intercut with acted sequences featuring Brno's political elites, artists, and outcasts. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)

Living in Brno is really not as much of a pose as it may seem to the people who survive there nihilistically. Yeah, it's fun and a little regretful, but it's not a documentary at all, and for a film reconstruction, the documentary elements in it are a bit off-putting. What starts out as a distinctive joke that you can actually live in (in my case, 7 years) ends up being incredibly chosen entertainment of a group of friends who want to have it out with ex-friends and non-friends, masquerading as a strong storyline about a couple in waiting, thus handling themselves first and proving to everyone around that a certain degree of urban-social cretinism can affect anyone. Brno is a city that is not without consequences.

This movie couldn't be more apt. Director Robin Kvapil expressed all those commonly known truths (often with a reach far beyond the borders of Brno) in such an unvarnished and incredibly funny way that I was doubled over with laughter. Even so, this is primarily a bitterly sarcastic and caustically bitter picture of the times we lived and still live in. (90%)
