Golem

Barta is one of the best Czech animators and artists, he has made several excellent films, and here, he just proves how great his imagination and creative potential is. I don't believe that it would ever be possible to gather enough finances for a feature film version of this in the future, and it's just a shame that such a talented director wasted a huge amount of energy. These 7 minutes that Barta once managed to film are a dreamy atmospheric trip to the no longer existing Jewish Prague, of which only a few monuments remain. Overall impression: 90%. (21.12.2009)
