Epic, expansive, affectionate and deeply passionate, CzechMate In Search of Jiri Menzel is the definitive work on the CzechosIovak New Wave. This extraordinary documentary fiIm, a Iabour of love by archivist and filmmaker Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, has a depth and scaIe unparaIIeled in the study of the CzechosIovak cinema.
Jiri Menzel s debut fiIm CIosely Observed Trains (Ost e sIedované vIaky, 1966) made a profound impression on young fiIm student Dungarpur. Years later, he invited MenzeI to meet him in a Prague café - and so began a conversation and a friendship that has cuIminated in this epic, seven-hour fiIm that not only expIores the deceptively whimsicaI comic films of Jiri Menzel, but alI of the artists who strove to make fiIms that whispered subversion and rebeIlion often at the risk of their liveIihood, or even their Iives.
FiImed over a period of seven years, Dungarpur and his team interviewed filmmakers, actors, crew members, writers, historians and critics who had been touched by the New Wave - incIuding V ra Chytilová, MiIo Forman, Vojt ch Jasný, lvan 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 In 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.
