是捷克新浪潮中最激进的一部影片,因为结尾处一群学生冲破警察的管制冲向夜色里的街头暴动场景而被迫在当年未能完成,直到1990年解禁后才由导演Hynek Bocan继续剪辑完成了影片。 A young teacher is sent to a rural re- form school, where he is faced with brutality of the inmates. He ends up paying with his life for his attempts to reform the abnormal conditions he finds there. The story, based on the novel of the same name by Karel Misafi, was banned during the final editing of the film and was only finished and releas- ed after the Velvet Revolution. The director Hynek Boãan (b. 1938) avoided persecution during “norma- lization” by shooting harmless come- dies and fairy tales. After the Velvet Revolution he became one of the most productive directors of television se- ries. He was responsible for the conti- nuation of the popular television se- ries “Nemocnice na kraji mûsta po dvaceti letech” [Hospital on the Edge of Town After 20 Years] dealing with the fates of doctors and their patients. At the present, he his making a series about the lives of famous ice hockey players on the decline.
