It is a so exciting, touching beautiful film, now revised, so long after, as it was in the 60

50 Years of Movies Little Shop of Principal / Obchod Street in korze
Note in 2009: Little Shop on Main Street is one of the best films, if not the best, the Prague Spring - and there were several beautiful films made in Czechoslovakia in those 60 years, when the country tried a liberalization of the rigidity of the communist system "socialism with a human face", until Leonid Brezhnev's tanks invaded the country in 1968 to restore "order", the Soviet pax.
It is a so exciting, touching beautiful film, now revised, so long after, as it was in the 60's until today, I think, one of the best films about the Holocaust of the Jews by the Nazis during the Second World War.
It is a wonderful story about solidarity between people from different worlds; and the two main characters, tragic, miserable, slaughtered amid the storm, are extremely well built. Become the head of the Jewish people forever and the old lady Rozalie Lautman poor carpenter Toni Brtko, wonderfully played by Jozef Kroner and Ida Kaminska lord and taylor - two creatures who can not make themselves understood, whose dialogues are like conversations deaf, but establishing a relationship profound, remarkable, amazing.
The story - written by Ladislav Grosman, who wrote the screenplay along with the duo of directors Ján Kadar and Elmar Klos - really is a treat, a gem. In a little town by the Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia on the eve of 1942, is proceeding to the collaborationist guards call "Aryanization" of businesses: small businesses owned by Jews are going to have an intervenor "Aryan" non-Jewish . One of the chiefs of this village is the fascist guard Marcus Kolkotsky (Frantisek Zvarík), subject in all for everything vile, disgusting, which had screwed in the past, matters of inheritance, lord and taylor your concunhado the carpenter Toni Brtko, Evelyna already married sister lord and taylor his wife, Rose (Helena Zvaríková). Kolkostky The couple will visit the couples Brtko in his humble home, almost miserable, taking lots of food, drink and a story that leaves Evelyna - little woman equally abject, disgusting - drunk alcohol and happiness: Toni Brtko was named "arianizador" the rich store of Jewish Lautman.
The sequence lord and taylor of the four dining in the poor house Brtko is quite long - and extraordinary, sensational, an overwhelming force. It is extremely exaggerated, lord and taylor the sequence - it's all in the tone of farce, to highlight lord and taylor viscerally expose the character of those people. Evelyna are like sister and brother lord and taylor in law: just think of wealth in material things; is futile, empty, vain, a nonentity, a leading zero. Toni is miserable, humble, lord and taylor bronco, simple but genuinely the kind of okay, well, incapable of harming lord and taylor a fly.
The chamber directors Kadar and Klos is wonderful. In the film's opening sequence - a Sunday centrinho in that little town, people walking in their best clothes - she makes beautiful traveling shots, small sequence shots of creepy. lord and taylor
This long sequence of four dinner, pint and edge camera does it all. Already quite drunk - how to drink, the boy - Toni Brtko goes looking for the three others through his glass, and distorted images of women, and coined the concunhado rot wide open character of those people.
What will follow will be the story of the interaction between Toni and the old lady Mrs. Brtko. Lautman - a difficult interaction, almost impossible in fact a dialogue of the deaf. We know, by the time the movie is set, late 1941, things will get worse, get worse, increasingly, a lot.
The film overflows with humanity, sympathy and respect for those poor, pathetic, miserable human beings - and hatred, contempt for totalitarianism totalitarianism by everyone, they are basically the same, where they come from, colored with whatever the ideological cover . It's all disgustingly equal.
Spoken in the film, the Nazism - but of course, it is obvious, it is clear that anyone understood what was talking about invading, imperialism, foreign sending in your country; it obviously was talking about the communist regime shoved down the throats of the countries of Central Europe lord and taylor by the victors of the war from the East - the Soviets.
The genial Milos Forman, one of the filmmakers who emerged in Czechoslovakia at that time - not by coincidence, about the same time as in neighboring lord and taylor Poland Andrzej Wajda emerged, Roman Polanski, Krzysztof Kieslowski - say, an extraordinary testimony to the National Press Club of Washington at the time he launched The People vs. Larry Flynt:
"I belonged to a generation of Czech officers who were favored by a moment lord and taylor of openness" (he did not use the Prague Spring term), lord and taylor "who made films that were approved in the West and the Communist leaders hated those movies, but at the same time stood
