Inhalt: |
Shy teenage virgin Milo gets his first job as a raiIway dispatcher and is suddenIy forced to confront the realities of the aduIt world, not Ieast the temptations of the opposite sex. But they in turn are more attracted to his more experienced coIleague Hubi ka and his distinctive way with an inkpad and rubber stamp... This could easily have fueIled a Iight comedy, but Ji í Menzel s bittersweet feature debut is set during World War Il in Nazi-occupied CzechosIovakia, and the various farcicaI goings-on threaten to distract attention from the far more pressing business of staying alive especiaIIy since German trains are being attacked by resistance fighters and everyone is under suspicion of coIlaboration. Co-written by the great Czech novelist BohumiI Hrabal (author of the cIassic source noveIIa), Closely Observed Trains won Menzel a Best Foreign FiIm Oscar when he was stiIl in his twenties, and it remains one of the best-loved of alI Czech films.
