(1969) The Joke/ Zert
(In Czechoslovakia with English subtitles)
POLITICAL DRAMA
Adapted from the book "Zert" by Milan Kundera co-written and directed by Jaromil Jires that has Ludvík Jahn (Josef Somr) meeting Helena Zemánková (Jana Dítetová) we find out later he was trying to seduce her. At first the reason was oblivious, but as it turned out through flashbacks it was a grudge to get back at the person who got him in trouble 15 years earlier.
It started out a little slow but it picks up as the movie is progressing with plenty of dialogue that resorts to nothing much but satisfaction for the star who is a clarinet player.

FANTASY
Adapted from the novel by Vítezslav Nezval co-written and directed by Jaromil Jires that has Valerie (Jaroslava Schallerová) that has her lying down until a teenage boy around her age, Orlik (Petr Kopriva) snatches her earrings. It was at that point, she goes through a series of strange people including her grandmother, Elsa (Helena Anýzová), evil looking priests; vampires and demons etc.... Surreal film that is even stranger than Alice in Wonderland that it takes a huge imagination.

(2025) A Working Man
ACTION
Adapted from the novel "Levon's Trade" by Chuck Dixon, co-written and directed by David Ayer that showcases Jason Statham as Levon's military history during the credits before his new life as a construction worker. Levon while working for the Garcia family when the teenage daughter, Jenny (Arianna Rivas) wants to hang out with friends during the night out. There's a guy notices her, and for some strange reason it was obvious he was up to no good. At first Levon does not want to have anything to do with it, but he eventually succumb to retrieving her back.
Reminiscent to the "Taken" movies with some amusing action sequences, but there are some scenes that just kind of drag.
