KRAJINKA / THE
LANDSCAPE
CZECH REPUBLIC, SLOVAKIA 2000
DIRECTOR: Martin Sulik, 110 MIN
A panorama of loosely connected episodes, spanning the last 70 years.
The narrator’s ironic commentary suggests that the film is about
the fate of a small country (Slovakia, although this is never said directly).
Political or societal processes are only the outer framework of these
episodes. The protagonists are little people, whose stories are symbolically
mirrored in Slovakia’s history. In a tragic-comical way, social
and historic handicaps, but also longings for love and freedom take the
stage. In the end, all of this is about a poetical love-hate-relationship
with the “Krajinka”.
