SITUATION
OF THE STREET OR THE CZECH SEA IN EIGHTEEN TIDAL WAVES / NÁROD
SOBE ANEB CESKÉ MORE V 18 PRÍLIVECH
CZECH REPUBLIC 2003
D: Jan Gogola, 89 MIN
In 18 independent episodes, Czech personalities like Jirí Krejcík,
Eva Holubová or Lukáš Pollert tell stories about people
with most different personal priorities: finding the name for a band,
love, the health of a child. This very witty, partially grotesque cycle
is set on the Národní trída, the „Boulevard
of the Nation“ – a street in downtown Prague whose historical
importance is connected to humiliating events but also to national feeling.
