Trnka's career peaked during the Cold War and his films were presented as an artistic counterweight to commercial production of Disney. Leftist western intellectuals were amazed; Trnka's films were narrated by Jean Cocteau and Richard Burton, winning prizes in Cannes and Venice and for the totalitarian regime they were a valuable export article. Trnka found he had become a puppet himself - of the political system. His disillusion led him to revolt. He left us a body of work celebrating a unique experience, the freedom associated with eternal youth. Written by The Czech Film Center See less
