Multihyphenate Sl\u00e1vek Hor\u00e1k takes creative license with certain facts to stress the irony and absurdity of V\u00e1clav Havel\u2019s metamorphosis from celebrated playwright to banned and jailed human rights activist to eventual President of Czechoslovakia.<\/p>\n<p>Concentrating more on Havel\u2019s personal evolution (here prodded by the women in his life) and various emotional truths, this vibrant dramedy doesn\u2019t shy from depicting the great man\u2019s weaknesses but it also shows him as generous and modest, an entertaining, talented writer who ultimately steps out of his comfort zone to become politically engaged. While some viewers may take issue with the simplifications, elisions and composites of Hor\u00e1k\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach, others will be inspired once again by Havel\u2019s courageous battle against oppression and the sacrifices he made.<\/p>\n<p>A brief opening prologue set in the late 1980s lays out one of the central paradoxes of the protagonist\u2019s life: that he does brave things out of cowardice. It\u2019s something that Hor\u00e1k explores throughout the film and that Havel (Viktor Dvo\u0159\u00e1k, a ringer for the young Havel) himself explains to the BBC interviewer (David Penn) smuggled into his beloved country home past the watchful eyes of the secret police.<\/p>\n<p>But Havel the national champion of the 1980s is a far cry from the carefree playwright of the 1960s, wherein the film\u2019s first act is set. At that time, the con<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> of this conflict-avoiding scion of a wealthy family appears more concerned with not lying to his first wife Olga (a quietly powerful performance by the great A\u0148a Geislerov\u00e1) about his many infidelities. \u201cFor once,\u201d she sighs, \u201ccouldn\u2019t you just <em>not<\/em> tell me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As depicted by Hor\u00e1k, Olga provides the film\u2019s moral compass, the example that Havel winds up following. As the heady freedoms of the Prague Spring come to an end with the invasion of the Warsaw Pact countries in late summer 1968, he follows her lead in refusing to sign a regime-sponsored document approving the Russian occupation. Both lose their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>The second act takes place in the 1970s. Banned from his beloved theaters, Havel works as a manual laborer in a brewery. The absurdity of the experience inspires him to start writing again. As he sees other artists attacked for expressing themselves freely, his attitude of \u201cI don\u2019t want to protest, I just want to do theater,\u201d changes to one of activism. He becomes one of the architects and original signatories of Charter 77. Hor\u00e1k pictures how the content of the Charter is dispatched to the West in a scene that would not be out of place in the cinema of Milos Forman or Jir\u00ed Menzel.<\/p>\n<p>The Charter, which challenged the Czech puppet government to live up to the rights and freedoms enumerated in the Czechoslovak Constitution, proved a provocation too far for the powers-that-be. Havel and his comrades, including hot-headed actor Pavel Landovsk\u00fd (Martin Hofmann) and a prominent philosophy professor (portrayed with appropriate dignity by Karlovy Vary Film Festival President\u00a0Ji\u0159\u00ed Barto\u0161ka) are imprisoned and interrogated.<\/p>\n<p>When Havel eventually capitulates to the regime\u2019s pressure and agrees to give up political activity in exchange for his release, he is overcome with self-disgust. Hor\u00e1k highlights this with a scene where Olga prepares <em>samzidat<\/em> from another political prisoner and refuses to tell Havel the names of the typists, saying calmly, \u201cWhat you don\u2019t know, you can\u2019t tell.\u201d Although he counters that what he told the authorities while in custody they already knew and it hurt no one, the wise Olga retorts, \u201cNot even yourself?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With his conscience stung to life, Havel returns to subversive activities at the same time as some of his peers decide to flee abroad to practice their art. Now seriously involved with the wife (Barbora Seidlov\u00e1) of a fellow playwright, Havel starts the Committee for the Defense of the Unjustly Prosecuted. When he is thrown into prison again, he receives a sentence of four years, six months. In spite of the regime\u2019s offer to drop all charges if he consents to leave the country with Olga, he refuses, noting, \u201cEven if you torture me, you couldn\u2019t torture me more than my own conscience if I give up doing the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rousing screenplay by Rudolf Such\u00e1nek and Hor\u00e1k contains some tart dialogue, epitomized by an exchange between Havel and Olga in the third act, set in 1989, when he tells her, \u201cYou have always been my First Lady,\u201d and she replies without skipping a beat, \u201cI\u2019d rather be your only lady.\u201d On the helming side, Hor\u00e1k smartly plays with visual transitions between the action and performances of Havel\u2019s plays to mirror the playwright\u2019s growing political commitment.<\/p>\n<p>Capturing the historical period with muted colors and Havel\u2019s prison time with claustrophobic angles, DP Jan \u0160\u0165astn\u00fd (cinematographer for Hor\u00e1k\u2019s feature debut \u201cHome Care\u201d) also shoots widescreen with great intimacy. His sensitive camera keeps returning to the revealing expressions of the central players.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, production designer Vladim\u00edr Hru\u0161ka and costume designer Nat\u00e1lie Steklov\u00e1 do an excellent job of evoking the era, matched by choice period tunes on the soundtrack. Meanwhile, the stirring orchestral score by Petr Mal\u00e1sek provides Hollywood-style cues for the narrative\u2019s turning points.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> footage from the real Havel\u2019s life plays out under the end credits, showing him meeting with politicians and prominent figures from all over the world.
