Václav Stratil is an artist. However, many people claim he is not. To find out an answer to this question, you do not have to watch Huhaba. Check out www.vaclavstratil.cz, though it may not make much sense either. Havran would love to be a film director sometime but does not feel up to it yet. It has been two years since he was lying in a bathtub on a scholarship in Bretagne and was taken unawares by one of his countless fanciful ideas and this being the idea of making a film about Vaclav. And not just the average, run-of-the-mill movie but a documentary going all the way to the core of the truth, encompassing Vaclav's complicated personality in all its aspects. He came up with the perfect concept to get there. The key was a semblance of a story line sneaking through the documentary material together with some tiny mystificating elements, making the interviews much more relaxed. Then, thanks to his indiscriminate euphoria, he managed to persuade a crowd of people to work on the project for free. Then he half illegally took hold of the school's three-chip camera and started shooting.
