Kdyz chcípne pes (2004) [Movie] Douban
director: Vladimír Drha actor: Jirí Stepnicka / Dagmar Bláhová
Architektu Václavu Holarovi se právě přehoupla padesátka. Má ženu, práci, odrostlého syna. Je poměrně dobře situovaný a poměrně úspěšný. Život se mu celkem vydařil - a tak je poměrně spokojený. Vše plyne v jasných, lety zkušeností dobře vytyčených kolejích. Vše si už umí představit, se vším počítá. Jen s Emilií ne. Je mladá a jemu se zdá i hezká. Fuj, je to tak banální - zná to. Nic dobrého z toho nekouká. Hlavně aby se nic nestalo! Pak by se totiž mohl dozvědět věci, které se dozvědět nechce, protože by k nim musel zaujmout určitý postoj a vyvodit z něj důsledky - a to je nepohodlné... Pak by se totiž mohly udát věci, po kterých netouží, protože by to pro něj mohlo být bolestivé, a co víc, mohl by v jejich světle - nedej bože - vypadat směšně(oficiální text distributora)
Metamorphosis (1975) [Movie] Douban
Die Verwandlung
director: 杨·涅梅茨 actor: 海因茨·贝能特 / Zdenka Procházková
other title: 变形记 / Die Verwandlung
Jan Němec's original proposal in 1966 to adapt Kafka's Metamorphosis as a theatrical feature was rejected by the Czech state film board. In 1974, he was forced into exile -- first seeking refuge in Germany:
CER: What impact did emigration from Czechoslovakia have on you personally and professionally?
JN: I have never emigrated. I was an exile. There is a very big difference. An emigrant is somebody who decides to leave the country, while an exile is chased away, like J A Komenský. In 1974, they wanted to put me in prison, but they gave me a choice, as with Milan Kundera. We were told that the criminal prosecution would be canceled if we applied for a legal departure motivated not by political protest but by a working contract.
I took this offer and left the country legally, so I had a Czech passport for another two years. But it was not like traveling. I couldn't come back. If I had, they would have seized my passport and began the criminal prosecution all over again, and I would be in prison. After two years they stripped me of my citizenship. So I have never emigrated and I have never applied for political asylum. I was "stateless," with no citizenship or no legal papers.

other title: ...第五个骑士是恐惧 / ...a páty jezdec je Strach
Dr. Braun is forbidden to practice medicine because he's a Jew living in Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia. He's old, seems resigned about the fate of the Jews, and even works in the Department of Confiscation of Jewish Property. One day a neighbor asks him to assist a wounded political fugitive. Dr. Braun reluctantly operates to remove the bullet, but warns that plenty of morphine will soon be needed in order to keep the man from screaming when he awakes, which would attract unwanted attention. After some soul searching, Dr. Braun decides to redeem himself and reclaim his identify as a person and doctor by continuing to provide assistance. His search for the scarce morphine takes him on a nightmarish journey which includes a brothel where local women are forced to be prostitutes for German soldiers, a bar where the locals try to drown their misery in booze and dancing, and a Jewish insane asylum with a high suicide rate. Meanwhile, in a world where there is constant propaganda instructing people to report any suspicious or disloyal activities, it may only be a matter of time before someone in Dr. Braun's apartment building call in the state police.
