I saw the movie in the original Czech language. I did make it through, though I have to say it was an effort. If you enjoyed The New World by Terrence Malick you will probably enjoy this movie, though you might find it fast paced. If you normally enjoy American cinema, this movie will seem totally senseless. If you're a man, the pretty Magda Vasaryova might carry the movie for you. If you are a woman (I am), this is pure waste of time. I would have liked to find something positive to say about this movie, but other than the visuals, which were nice, and the glimpse into small town life a century ago, this film really has nothing to recommend itself. My Czech friends gave me this movie since they obviously had an extremely high opinion of it. I did watch it since I felt I owed them that much, but I honestly can't say I found the movie funny or entertaining. It was just extremely long without anything going on. It was the first movie I ever saw that needed a narrator throughout. I have only seen this before in documentaries and found it rather annoying. I think it was supposed to make the movie "funny". I felt like the movie was a very bad joke, and the joke was on the viewer, for waisting their time watching this.
