Comedy, Czechoslovakia, 2000, 103 min
Director: David Ondříček
in czech with english subtitles
A generation comedy directed by David Ondříček (and written by Petr Zelenka) developing several interconnected stories of young people living in present day Prague, for various reasons they are unable to cross beyond the confines of their own egos and effect deep relationships. The narrative consists of many bizarre comic motifs, which sometimes overshadow the serious main subject. The film was very popular among young Czechs, thanks also to its use of modern music and catchy phrases.

Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: Cold Water (Olivier Assayas)
Sunday October 14th 2012, Movie night with Cold Water. Screened by guest programmer Jeffrey Babcock, in high-definition. Door open at 20pm (films start at 21:00pm) L’EAU FROIDE, (Cold Water) 1994. Directed by Olivier Assayas, 92 minutes. In French with English subtitles
An amazing film from Oliver Assayas (Carlos, Irma Vep) about growing up in Europe in the 70s. Strangely enough, it feels that now, after all the large alternative movements have died, and the only culture left seems to be business-culture, that young people today are faced with a similar situation. This film captures perfectly the tone of being young and rebellious, but having nothing in society to connect to. […Lees verder]
Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: Diamonds of the Night (Jan Němec, 1964) and The Miners’ Hymns (Bill Morrison, 2011)
Sunday September 16th 2012, Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema with a double feature: Diamonds of the Night (Jan Němec, 1964) and The Miners’ Hymns (Bill Morrison, 2011). Screened by guest programmer Jeffrey Babcock, in high-definition. Door open at 20pm (films start at 21:00pm)
DIAMONDS OF THE NIGHT 1964
(Démanty noci)
Directed by Jan Němec
63 minutes
In Czech with English subtitles
This film is a intense, illuminating and harsh story of two Czech boys who escape from a train taking them from Prague to a concentration camp. As they run wildly through the hilly, forested landscape they are being hunted down by armed German villagers. The film is visceral and visual, with very few words spoken. It is an anti-war film that doesn’t deal with actual warfare, but rather focuses on human survival in almost surrealistic dimensions. The film constantly breaks with normal storytelling, intersecting hallucinations and flashbacks into the two boy’s exhaustive physical journey. […Lees verder]

Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: Before The Revolution (1964)
Sunday August 5th 2012, Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema, Before The Revolution (1964),
Prima Della Rivoluzione, directed by Bernardo Bertolucci, 115 minutes, In Italian with English subtitles, high-definition screening.
Screened by guest programmer Jeffrey Babcock, starts at 8pm.
This rarely seen vital and elegant second feature film by Bertolucci (Last Tango in Paris, 1900, The Sheltering Sky) is considered by most to be his first masterpiece. Its best to forget Bertolucci’s later detour into Hollywood and getting lost in huge financial productions…his earliest films are more tight, more poetic and more honest. Before the Revolution was made when he was only 23. It shows that he was already a visionary filmmaker and its closer to the first films of the French New Wave than it is to the bloated star-studded spectacles he was involved in years later. Having said that, I also have to say that it remains one of his most stylish films. […Lees verder]
