The name Gottland refers to a famous Czech singer Karel Gott, one of the most popular pop-music singers in the central Europe. Karel Gott himself became a symbol for the succesful, and hardworking citizen of the Czech lands, who has stayed perfectly neutral for last 60 years. He is the only real hero for the Czech nation, sometimes even reaching up to the god status. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

englanti The Czech Century made by a bunch of friends from FAMU. Or even the atmosphere of the Žižkov freight station can't hide the fact that referring to Szczygieł's book is simply not enough because it's always difficult with short story films if they are to be evaluated as a whole. Yet there are quite a few unifying elements here: pathos and narrative naivety (Lída Baarová and the slow-mo from Fiery Summer? Zdeněk Adamec as a longer report on TV news, c’mmon!) on the one hand, and a plot vacuum (Stalin) on the other. ()
