Le boxeur et la mort

Feb 22, 1963
Le commandant du camp de concentration Kraft découvre que le prisonnier Kominek est un ancien boxeur professionnel. Du jour au lendemain, le prisonnier devient le sparing-partner de Kraft et monte malgré lui dans une position privilégiée dans le camp. Sa colère après la mort de son ami et co-prisonnier conduit à une révolte ouverte. Le film apporte une nouvelle vision de la dégradation humaine pendant le fascisme par l'histoire tragique d'un homme dont la seule chance de survie est d'accepter les règles d'un jeu inégal.
Drama
Prípad Barnabáš Kos
6
In this bitingly satirical film Peter Slovan, a continuous source of trouble for the film functionaries of the socialist Slovakia, tackles an evergreen topic – the corruptive effects of power. Barnabáš Kos, a triangle player at a symphonic orchestra, is suddenly promoted to serve as the head of the said institution, even though both he and his superiors deem him completely unfit for the task. Encouraged in equal parts by this unexpected recognition and the servile praise of his colleagues, Kos’s modesty starts to gradually vanish. The erstwhile bashful and aloof percussionist quickly becomes aware of the advantages of his new office, and begins to realise his increasingly ludicrous artistic ambitions. Ultimately, the submissive marionette turns into a source of public humiliation, and his astonishing career finds an abrupt end. Orchestra serves here as a microcosm that grotesquely reflects the absurd and tragicomic mechanisms of the paranoid apparatus of power.

Eduard Grečner. Film director, dramaturge, publicist and poet. A talented fi lmmaker with precise artistic goals which, due to circumstances and the times, he was not always able to realise. Refl ections on the ideological and aesthetic starting points he consecutively followed during his creative career, [as well as] on the meaning and mission of art and the principles that art should never abandon. [It is] about reality limiting the freedom of artistic expression, confl icts with power and the consequences that Eduard Grečner – a human being and an artist – decided to face without ever compromising his own views and conscience, because the truth is all there is.

A tribute to Martin Slivka, one of the most important personalities of Slovak cinematography and culture. He was the creator of Slovak documentary ethnographic film, director, screenwriter, dramaturgist, film theoretician, pedagogue, author and ethnograph, but mainly – exceptional person. This documentary is not only a remembrance of maestro Slivka through words of his close friends and colleagues, but also an attempt to slightly uncover the secret of his rich life and work.

The film could have been a lyrical evocation of the ČSSR's first generation: the youngsters born during the war, who grew up in a state violently at pains to find and define itself, and were now ready to break away from the nation-builder ethics of their elders – but Grečner turned it into an anxiety-riddled existentialist vision of a whole globe in fear.
