A Czechoslovak Fairy Tale

Un conte de fées tchécoslovaque

Also known as Czechosłowacka bajka, Una favola cecoslovacca: la Nouvelle Vague di Jan Procházka, Un cuento de hadas checoeslovaco, Ein tschechoslowakisches Märchen

In Czechoslovakia, between 1946 and 1971, the characters of two very different fairy tales interacted and enriched each other: on the one hand, the filmmakers of the Czechoslovak New Wave who, through poetic, committed and ambitious cinema, fought against the Soviet yoke with subtle irony; and, on the other, the writer Jan Procházka, who in 1968 added his voice to the popular outcry of the Prague Spring.
