A very strong film for me and I'm surprised it's probably so forgotten. I hadn't heard of it until recently and I'm very glad I checked it out. Quite frankly, for me it was probably the best Czech film I've seen. It had a strong theme. It wasn't afraid to be dark and it wasn't a comedy, as is usually the case with Czech cinema today. I thought this was really good. The young actors gave good performances in my opinion. But what was also damn good in my opinion was the soundtrack. It drew me in right from the start. I was entertained the whole time, but from about the second half it caught an even better wave and started to get gritty and I really liked that. Dark World. Dark story. That's how I like it. I'm always interested in more serious and gritty films like that. I'm constantly praising it here, so just to give it away, it's a bit of a cameo for me. It's not that it's not watchable, but this year, films abroad already looked completely different, but in the Czech Republic we were still behind. Apart from the look, I have nothing to complain about.
