“Larks on a line” (1969) screened simultaneously in two rooms (one with English subtitles, the other with French ones), will be followed by a dialogue between Antoine Corel and director Jiri Menzel and then with the public. At the Atlas Cinema. Places limited. With translation Czech/English.
The film Menzel made after his famous “Closely Observed Trains” has not found the recognition it deserves –among other reasons, because it was under censorship for 20 years. With subversive humour and deep hope in human values, it portrays the fight carried on by a group of prisoners in a ‘re-education camp’ in the 50’s. Seen today in a triple temporal perspective, it brings a powerful reflection on a crucial period in the XX century.
