Bohéma

I don't really understand the wave of criticism. I saw from the beginning to the end an extremely interesting and engaging TV film full of great performances (I suspected that Vladimír Javorský would be excellent, but I was also pleased with David Novotný, who is not very similar to Jaroslav Marvan in appearance, but he acts exactly like him) and believable emotions (Štěpánek's speech, Burian unable to do humor...), with careful design and a pleasant period atmosphere. The mixing of fiction and truth didn't bother me at all, because hand on heart - if the filmmakers claimed that they were making 100% truth, there would still be viewers who wouldn't believe them and would blame them, so what the heck. On the contrary, making fictional films inspired by existing ones is a good idea and quite a funny revival. The "storytelling" story from 1968 will certainly be used by the script somehow, so it definitely didn’t feel Superfluous to me.___P.S. I don't even need to add the fact that any minute of the first part of Bohéma is better than the whole of Renč's The Devil's Mistress. (16.01.2017)

An incredibly tired start and unused generous space that the central fictional couple would deserve only if they experienced something interesting, or at least a little more interesting. Unfortunately, they did not, and so they bored me. Fortunately, the second half or so was great again, because it focused on real people and events, especially the amazing Vlasta Burian of Vladimír Javorský and his colleagues and loved ones.

For another undressed actor (I know, Robert Sedláček, we all have our perversions...) and for the unnecessarily cheap rabbits I take off a star, but otherwise the fourth part of Bohéma was very strong and impressive. Chilling. Especially thanks to the uncompromisingly-presented story by Anna Letenská (the eye-to-eye scene in the Gestapo corridor was definitely the highlight of the evening), but the others did not miss out either. In the previous episodes the cards were dealt well, now they are "just" being played, and it seems that the narrative line from 1968 is also leading to something. (06.02.2017)
