Mouřínov is a little Moravian village in the middle of nowhere. It is so remote that even the road ends there. And because its inhabitants long to be on a thoroughfare, they have to come up with a plan to obtain a rather large amount of asphalt to extend the road. Their key to success is meant to be Franta, an introvert, wiseacre and muddlehead. But above all the national deer-calling champion. And so their only chance of getting their dreamt-of road is to hold the European championship in their village with the prime minister as a guest. The mayor prepares his diplomatic mission and Franta falls in love, but nothing is easy and the vision of the new road remains uncertain. Especially when Franta refuses to compete, someone damages the backstage area and Mrs. Csáková isn’t answering her phone… (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)

angielski I spend time in a village not unlike this one. People are the same everywhere. They’ll fight over a girl, they’ll argue about nothing, and they’ll have a good mayor and a businessman who's loaded with money. The bad thing is that it's yet another in a series of attempts at that "rural folklore" thing. This time, it surprisingly doesn't come down to the characters (although you simply won't believe the "hay and pitchforks" attitude of some of the Prague folk), but to the terribly sleepy pace with nothing to do and the unnecessary episodicity that doesn't allow you to really get a grip on anything. I’m giving it 3 stars with a bleeding heart because Sedláček towers over his type-like colleagues, but I can't forgive myself for wondering how those other directors used to do it back in the day...

angielski The incredible has become a deed. An entertaining satire and a kind idyll with strong characters and a screenplay that does not make your stomach twist. Without any exaggeration or embarrassing variety, Sedláček managed to make an intelligent film which, with certain aspects, subscribes to the new wave (authenticity, celebration as a space of satirical expression of characters), and with certain aspects it remains entirely contemporary. Above all, however, all of the aspects entertain and hit on more general phenomena. It's unfortunate that there are a few moments in the film when Sedláček started looking for humor elsewhere than in the non-exciting and straight-forward flowing life of a small village. Other than that, I like his film, despite the fact that he does too many things at once. The film mysteriously functions as a satire, a love story and a village idyll. Rather than a scathing Forman critique of public affairs, let's look for a correlation with the kind drollery of Vančura or Chevallier. ()
