The odd czechs
The bearer of formal inventiveness and immensely gripping freedom of tone, Czech cinema is, nevertheless, largely unknown to the general public, including the films that emerged in such an extraordinary manner during the 1960s. The Arras Film Festival has teamed up with the Malavida publishing company to offer you six gems which are as exhilarating as they are diverse; films which bear witness to an art consumed by irony and satire, burlesque laughter, and social and political critique.
