Dir. Jiri Menzel, Cast: Rudolf Hrusínský, Vlastimil Brodský. Czechoslovakia 1969. 90 min.
Based on Hrabal's collection of short stories, the film depicts the everyday life of the former bourgeoisie forced to work in a scrap yard as part of their 're-education'.
Positioned between hope and despair, seriousness and humour, it is a mosaic of individual destinies held together by a belief in love, kindness and indestructible humanity.
This gentle satire of a socialist heaven-to-be was banned forever only to appear 20 years later and scoop the Golden Bear in Berlin in 1990.
