MOST!

MOST! (2019) 

The entire country went crazy about the TV show MOST! and it makes me think that it’s actually not a bad idea for shows and movies to be made to look more natural so that we can imagine where they may actually be taking place. On top of that, the city of Most was lucky that nobody thought much of it before the first episode aired. And now the city gets probably mentioned in any discussion among friends who are planning to go on a trip and haven’t decided where to go yet. Most! is simply a blast and in my opinion it is somehow the climax of the best stuff that the creative duo of Kolečko + Prušinovský could have put together. I was a bit worried about the serious part of the TV show because in the past I have seen cases where too much seriousness didn’t work out too well for Kolečko as a screenwriter. But Prušinovský is such a gooddirector that he can shoot the serious parts with the kind of lightness that I exactly need. In a similar vein, Mr. Menzl always managed to do that with the stories of Bohumil Hrabal. A thing of beauty! I am glad that we have creative artists like that in our country and I am glad that the city of Most attained a status of uniqueness. Apart from the creators, I would like to thank the actors as well – they provided me with one of the best film experiences of this year. It was a pleasure to watch the show every Monday. Under regular circumstances, Monday pretty much sucks as a day, but this time, those eight Monday were actually quite nice. Thanks! (28.02.2019)
