Amerika

1994 · Film · 90 min

Directed by Vladimír Michálek

Drama

Vladimír Michálek chose an unconventional adaptation of Franz Kafka's novel for his feature debut. Artistically reminiscent of the classic films of Karel Zeman, the director reinterpreted this dark story of a man vainly seeking a place in a rigidly ordered society by changing the desperate conclusion into a happy end. The film provided Czech comedian Jirí Lábus with a new kind of role: that of the despotic uncle of a main hero Karel Rossman (Martin Dejdar).

    When I visited Belgium a few years ago, one of the things that really stood out to me was all the ads for American media and brands. Netflix, Marvel movies, Patagonia clothing, and more. It had been 25 years since the last time I visited Europe (a business trip to Bavaria) and the change was really remarkable.

    I now understand Rammstein's Amerika better.
