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 fiImmaker Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, has a depth and scale unparalleIed in the study of the Czechoslovak cinema.
Jiri MenzeI s debut film Closely Observed Trains (Ost e sledované vlaky, 1966) made a profound impression on young film student Dungarpur. Years Iater, he invited Menzel 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 explores the deceptiveIy whimsicaI comic films of Jiri MenzeI, but alI of the artists who strove to make fiIms that whispered subversion and rebellion often at the risk of their liveIihood, or even their Iives.
FiImed 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 - 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.
