This documentary essay is an ironically aggressive report about the decline of "folklore" as an official "cultural-political" phenomenon. The author uses non-traditional film methods, including subtitles as commentary, song, declamations made to the camera, played etudes, and combining news reports with fiction. The censors of that particular era did not allow the film to be distributed. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)

Ein sehr unkonventioneller Dokumentarfilm, der vierunddreißig Minuten lang signalisiert, dass er sich in seiner Konzeption von Filmen seines Genres abheben will, mich als Zuschauer aber nicht überzeugt hat, ihm eine überdurchschnittliche Bewertung zu geben. Kurzum, ein Film, dessen künstlerischer Wert mir zwar bewusst ist, den ich aber nicht richtig würdigen kann.

It certainly is an interesting documentary that presents at times quite controversial ideas, complemented by an incredibly intriguing visual, where Karel Vachek plays with both image and sound, with what we truly see and what we should see. I don't want to claim that it is a direct indictment of futile effort, but it is definitely a film that makes you feel that something is wrong. It is up to you to reflect on whether what is wrong is how much people try, even though they know it will end, or if it lies in letting something like this come to an end. The Saudka brothers add the right surreal touch, which is already given by the very boundary between documentary and feature film.
