This year, Jiřina Bohdalová celebrated her 95th birthday, and the occasion once again reminded audiences how unique her place in Czech culture truly is. For decades, she has been present in film, television, fairy tales, and entertainment, yet she never felt distant or untouchable. For many viewers, she represents something warmly familiar, but also something much rarer, complete acting confidence.
What makes Jiřina Bohdalová so special is that she never remained locked in one mode. She could be lively and comic, but also sharp, melancholic, or completely restrained. In one role she could dominate through energy, in another through voice, timing, or the smallest gesture. That is why her filmography still feels alive today. Not like a museum, but like something worth returning to. 
If you would like to mark her anniversary through film, CzechMovie currently offers several titles that reveal different sides of her talent.
Lady on the Tracks / Dama na kolejich
In this film, Jiřina Bohdalová appears in the form many viewers love most, energetic, quick, and entirely natural. Lady on the Tracks belongs to those comedies that rely on rhythm, personality, and precise comic timing. 
Killing the Devil / Vrazda Ing. Certa DVD
Here, Bohdalová becomes sharper, stranger, and more grotesque, which is exactly what makes the film so compelling. It is not a conventional comedy, but a very distinctive cinematic experience, ironic, unusual, and slightly unsettling.
The Immortal Woman / Nesmrtelna teta
If someone wants to revisit Bohdalová in a later phase of her career while still seeing her remarkable energy, this is a strong choice. One Cat After Another rests heavily on her presence and on how easily she commands attention even in a role that might feel ordinary with another actor.
Fany
Fany is a reminder that Jiřina Bohdalová was never only a comic actress. In this film, she is quieter, more fragile, and more painful. It is a performance that does not depend on large gestures. That is exactly why it feels so strong. 
The White Lady / Bila pani
A very different tone appears in The White Lady. This film shows how well Bohdalová also worked in more satirical and stylised cinema. The performance is not built only on sympathy or charm. It also carries irony, distance, and a certain lightness that suits Czech 1960s cinema beautifully. 
About Goblin Racochejl / O skritku racochejlovi
Then there is the world in which Jiřina Bohdalová holds a special place simply through voice and presence. About Goblin Racochejl reminds viewers how strongly she was linked to children’s television storytelling and to the atmosphere many people still carry from childhood. The title is available as a 4DVD set at CzechMovie. 
Jiřina Bohdalová is one of those actresses for whom it is not enough to speak only about a long career. What matters more is that her roles still carry energy, precision, and humanity. Whether one revisits her in comedy, psychological drama, or fairy tale, there is always something instantly recognisable in her work, and yet never stale.
So at CzechMovie, you do not just find several titles with a famous name. You find several different ways to revisit Jiřina Bohdalová. And that may be the best way to mark her anniversary.
