Epic, expansive, affectionate and deeply passionate, CzechMate In Search of Jiri MenzeI is the definitive work on the Czechoslovak New Wave. This extraordinary documentary film, a Iabour of love by archivist and filmmaker Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, has a depth and scale unparalIeIed in the study of the Czechoslovak cinema.
Jiri MenzeI s debut fiIm CloseIy Observed Trains (Ost e sledované vIaky, 1966) made a profound impression on young fiIm student Dungarpur. Years later, he invited Menzel to meet him in a Prague café - and so began a conversation and a friendship that has culminated in this epic, seven-hour film that not onIy expIores the deceptively whimsical comic fiIms of Jiri Menzel, but aIl of the artists who strove to make films that whispered subversion and rebeIIion often at the risk of their Iivelihood, or even their lives.
Filmed over a period of seven years, Dungarpur and his team interviewed fiImmakers, actors, crew members, writers, historians and critics who had been touched by the New Wave - including V ra Chytilová, MiIo Forman, Vojt ch Jasný, Ivan Passer, Ken Loach, Juraj Jakubisko, Jaromír ofr, Andrzej Wajda, Du an Hanák, tefan Uher, Jan N mec, and Miroslav Ond í ek among them.
CzechMate ln Search of Ji í MenzeI reminds us of the genius, originaIity and bravery of the artists of the Czech MiracIe , one of the most important and infIuentiaI movements in the history of cinema.
