Midsummer Night's Dream

Středoletní noci sen

Directing: Radek Tůma

Synopsis

This film by Radek Tůma is a modern lyrical experiment that is fascinating for its formal immediacy and spontaneous expressions of joy as it emphasizes the sensual aspects of life and a return to nature. Tůma's film is a sovereign cinematic space which, broken up into many chapters, takes an unconventional look at contemporary Czech society. The opening political grotesque on the presidential election is drowned out by the ecstatic ramblings of philosophising (and chattering) fragments turning on the sought-out axis of life and the world, and especially the introspective images full of colourful objectivity and charming humour, elevated to the level of pure poetry.
