Bohéma

This 6 part series can be found under the title ' Private Live or 'Bohemia' and is filmed in the Czech language. It is Hollywood in Prague during the Second World War and does a great job of showing the dilemmas of living under an oppressive occupying power. Shown in flash back from a Grandfather to grand daughter perspective it shows the third Reich's attempts to use the Prague film industry for propaganda and anti semetic agenda's. Mixed into this is the complicated romantic and familial relationships amongst the Czechoslovakian Film Industry. It adds historical context with the killing of Reinhard Heydrich though this not shown. It's easy to lose something in having to read subtitles but it still gives a big punch and tells a thought provoking tale covering corruption, homophobia and anti semitic policies of the German regime.
