Larks On A String 1969 CZE SUB ENG, ITA 1080p BluRay x264

Year: 1969 Country: Czechoslovakia Director: Jirí Menzel Cast: Rudolf Hrusínský, Vlastimil Brodský, Václav Neckár, Jitka Zelenohorská IMBD: Link Language : Czech Subtitles : English, Italian The stories of Bohumil Hrabal were a touchstone for director Jirí Menzel. By the time he turned to Skylarks on the String he had already adapted a number of short stories from the writer’s 1965 collection An Advertisement for the House I No Longer Wish to Live in. After The Death of Mr Balthazar, 1965 – which served as a short film segment of the anthology feature Pearls of the Deep, 1965, a motion picture sometimes described as a manifesto of sorts for the 1960s Czechoslovak New Wave generation of directors – Menzel turned to the wartime tragicomedy Closely Watched Trains, 1966. Its success was underscored by a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. Skylarks on the String was another winning collaboration between the highly regarded filmmaker and the much admired writer. The film is set in Kladno steelworks, a place where political offenders against the communist regime were sent for “temporary employment”. These might include insubordinate intellectuals, religious affiliates or small traders. The temporary workers in the film include a former state prosecutor (Leos Sucharípa), a young Adventist named Pavel (Václav Neckár), his love and fellow inmate Jitka (Jitka Zelenohorská) and the barber Kudla (Ferdinand Kruta). All are watched over by the young guard Andel (Jaroslav Satoranský) who has also been charged with keeping an eye on the “hill girls” – women who try to cross over the country’s mountainous western borders. Although the main protagonists are all in the same boat, friendship and mutual loyalty have their limitations when there is no chance of justice and no way to appeal for help. A fanatical leader of a communist youth organisation points out the “enemies of the regime” to visiting Pioneers (the socialists’ favoured term for “scouts) as if they are contagious exotic animals. Even though things can always get worse, life never ceases to be both strange and beautiful… Rather than being greeted by popular acclaim, plaudits from critics and awards from international film festivals, the film instead ended up in the infamous “censor’s vault”. There was little appetite for storylines exploring the theme of 1950s’ political persecution in a Czechoslovak film industry that was busy adapting itself to the demands of post-1968 “normalisation”. A scene featuring senile government minister Zdenek Nejedlý (Vladimír Šmeral) was cut but it was still not enough to placate the censor. The film was only premiered after November 1989 and although it earned its creator a Golden Bear at the 1990 Berlin International Film Festival it was a belated satisfaction. After Skylarks on the String, Menzel was not permitted to make another film for five years. His next offering was a essentially a socialist propaganda piece about the builders of a better future, Who Looks for Gold, 1974.
