Rozina sebranec

I'm afraid that with each new rerun, Rozina, the Love Child is becoming a worse and worse film. The characters are just empty templates without the slightest development, the would-be lavish set design is really just a single appealing space, and the costumes that are truly interesting are minimal. Glázrová, Boháč, Štěpánek, Pivec, and Kreuzmann drown in absurd scenes. Or in other words, the "normal" circumstances no longer offered even the so-called timelessness of the Protectorate, but everything worked only to keep the filming going for a long time and with as large an ensemble as possible. From a human point of view, it was a sympathetic step, while from an artistic point of view, it failed. Repeating the rear projection with the river motif was not a good idea either, but what I really can't get past is the naive portrayal of the "Italians" and the fact that Rozina didn't have a bloodstain on her dress after being shot. If I assume that the ill-advised editing had an impact on the final film, I believe that there was some hope for this to be a really interesting historical drama. If we could also have learned more about the motivations of the characters, then that would be ideal. Unexpectedly, when I take the whole thing into consideration, only Vášová in a supporting role comes out positive for me. (02/22/2009)
