    I love it

    It is a film who I love. For the fine exploration of emptiness. For the acting of Jiri Mlad as the vulnerable, isolated, confused and closed in himself man. For the clash between play and the life of Petr to become one. For the end. Yes, for discover the basic traits defining contemporary Czech cinema, too. A young director from a small town in middle of confused situations. And adaptation of Fedra by Euripides and the fall, step by step, of his life. Short, just special from chronicle of Sysiphic effort to the forms of a sort of parableparable.
