Jaroslav Hasek's Exemplary Cinematograph (1956)

Directed by Oldřich Lipský

Overview

Jaroslav Hašek screens four film stories in the fairground shed around 1900. After period advertising slides and a “newspaper”, we see “the first part of a sensational, exemplary, parfuss, salon program - a film from the life of school-age children, shot under very difficult circumstances”. The plot of this film takes place partly in a school classroom and partly in a gymnasium toilet, where the primate Chocholka took refuge from a Latin composition. “Exemplary Family Happiness” is the second film that takes the viewer into the family of the municipal official Honzátek, in which many stormy scenes occurred when the hamster, provided by Honzátek Jr., moved into the sofa - a wedding gift from Sister Ema. Equally surprising are two other stories, one of which tells about the “father of the poor”, the owner of a company with unrecoverable cash flow and a famous patron, and the other about the fateful consequences of a joint trip between the old bachelor Mr. Hanzlíček and his neighbors.

Length 106 minutes
