Jan Hrebejk Trailers

His first major film, Cosy Dens, is widely regarded as one of the greatest Czech films ever made. Wikipedia describes it as a bittersweet coming-of-age story set in the months leading up to the ill-fated 1968 Prague Spring. I couldnt find any trailer for this but I did find the first ten minutes.

Next is Divided We Fall. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film this film still never fails to draw a crow wherever it's played

After that is Up and Down, which was once again the Czech Republic's submission to the 77th Academy Awards however was not accepted as a nominee. Sorry, but I couldn't find anything with subtitles for this one, but I do hear that Czech is pretty easy to learn.

He then follow Up and Down with Beauty in Trouble, which stars the lovely Ana Geislerova as a sex-addicted mother who is forced to choose between her convict ex-husband or a wealthy older ex-patriate.

After that he came out with Im All Good in 2008. Im sorry to say I don't know much about this film but after watching the trailer (no subtitles again) I'm going to quickly make sure I do.

Finally Hrebejk has just recently released Shameless and Kawasaki's Rose. Shameless, which premiered at Toronto was recieved with rave reviews, and like a mentioned in my previous post, Kawasaki's Rose opens at Berlin next month.

  1. I agree with this because the film was considered by many men as a bittersweet movie, actually I think the movie had other features too and that's what people really enjoyed.
