Igor Latta

The drama called I Love, You Love was made in 1980 but because of the absurd ideological ban, the film entered cinemas nine years later. Pišta is an unmarried man who works at a freight wagon which carries letters and parcels. Alcohol helps him to overcome his handicap of being short and not good-looking. He wishes he had a woman, but the woman he really wants, ageing Viera who reloads the cargoes, has a soft spot for another man. So, Pišta has nobody and nothing, except for senile mother who sometimes fails to recognize him. The film received Silver Bear for Best Director at the International Film Festival in Berlin.

Bon père de famille, Adam est aussi le chef d’une bande de trafiquants qui transportent des cigarettes, de l’alcool et des réfugiés entre l’Ukraine et la Slovaquie avec la complicité de la police locale. Les choses se compliquent lorsque l’un de ses partenaires, l’impitoyable Krull, veut l’impliquer dans un trafic de stupéfiants, juste avant que la Slovaquie n’entre dans l’Espace Schengen et renforce les contrôles à sa frontière.

Ten short unrelated stories that move chronologically through Slovakia's twentieth-century history as seen from the perspective of life in small towns and villages.

In 1947 by the Beskid mountains, the traces of war still linger, destroyed tanks dispersed throughout the farmland creating an eerie backdrop. This film follows a ten-year-old boy and the strange visions he encounters, his world of fantasy exacerbated with ample time, space, and a lack of companionship or guidance. We see the adults that influence and dominate his life, for better or for worse. Surreal and packed with an excellent study of human emotions and motivations compounded by their rural, isolated vacuum of a town, this is a timeless and severely underrated film from a brilliant Czech director.

A story of a little girl Verka and her life during the beginning of WWII. Based on Vera Sládková novels.
