O perníkové chaloupce

This film has been one of my favorites since my early childhood years. I was always thrilled by the idea that a director and screenwriter would have the courage to end the story with someone in the oven. This fairy tale has great potential for a horror atmosphere. Karel Janák, though, directed the story towards comedy, but it's still nice that he deviated from the classic simple storyline of gingerbread on the roof - shovel - escape, and the audience gets to enjoy a few surprises. It's doubly nice that the TV fairy tale moved away from the usual cardboard studio sets. I didn't recognize Naďa Konvalinková in the role of the meat-loving witch; the makeup artists did a solid job. Overall impression: 55%. (19.11.2009)
