Description
Experienced Barrandov historian Pavel Jiras presents the giant of Czech cinema, director Martin Frič. The book, full of unique and largely unpublished photographs from the family archive, showcases the personality of Mac Frič, particularly during the more difficult and lesser-known period of his career after 1945. In a time of cultural stagnation full of concessions, impressive works were still created, which, despite a certain degree of bias, differ from the films of his competitors, among other things, always featuring a grand cast. The text also resonates with memories of the starry era of the First Republic and long-ago friendships. A fundamental line of the book is also the director's personal life, especially his relationship with his beloved woman, underscored by the romantic nostalgia of memories of long-ago youthful enchantment. Martin Frič was simply an honest artist who managed to find bright spots even in worse times and fill them with humanity, not clichés.
