Title: Very nice!
Product review: The plot is predictable but the story is so well told that it is genuinely moving. I won't retell it as others have done so. I just want to agree with the many others that, in spite of what could be a cloying, overly sentimental story, this escaped that and delivered something worthwhile. Some have said that this isn't the best of Czech cinema and I have to agree. But this is still lovely and worth seeing. The actors are great, especially the child who plays Kolya. Again, this could be cringe-worthy but he is wonderful.My only tiny complaint is the fact that the writer, who also plays the 55 year old lead, has written the character as irresistable to beautiful women, including a very young student! I suppose he has the right to do this...it's his film and his son directed it. :-)The shots of Prague are wonderful and add a lot to the enjoyment of the film. The lead character was supposed to be suffering financially but he sure had a wonderful tower apartment.
