Director: Pavel Koutecký and Miroslav Janek

Vaclav Havel, one of the political heroes of the last half century, whose Czech “Velvet Revolution” and Charter 77 movement was a crucial part of an unique historical upheaval, is star in this almost-slapstick underground movie against politicians. Would that more of them could be made with such fun about the historical figures of our day. This newly-released feature about the life (now a private citizen) of a dramatist who became president and never wanted it is a behind-closed doors look based on 100 hours of footage, finally edited down for the screen by a former Minneapolis filmmaking team who were refugees here in the Eighties.
