Wonderful Movie

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

I caught this on WNYC the other night and boy is it good! It reminds me a lot of Ivan's Childhood. What a crime this isn't on video. What a crime this guy, who's obviously done a lot of work isn't known at all in this country! But film history is riddled with people like this. There's probably a bazillion obscure European directors who've done great works which eclipse nearly anything any snot-nosed young Indie type is doing now.Some enterprising DVD distributor could make a lot of cinephiles very happy. Anybody listening

A tale of a young boy wandering a landscape torn by war, At' zije Republika (Long Live the Republic) is a heartrending film highlighted by its fantastic editing- we see the boy's life as a jumble of images past, present and imagined. As we see the timeline of scenes come into focus the film becomes one you'll never forget. Outstanding black-and-white cinematography by Jaromir Sofr (Larks on a String, Report on The Party and The Guests). I hope to see more films by this wonderful director Karel Kachyna!
