Větrák - Josef Větrovec – Nekvapil Václav (2019)

The first biography of the outstanding Czech actor, Josef Větrovec. Thanks to his expressive acting and velvety deep voice with a characteristic timbre, he was an actor of great dramatic and comedic roles. His characters were full of sharp humor, exaggeration, and irony. He appeared in dozens of films (A Star Called Wormwood, People from the Caravans, Girls from Porcelain, Tomorrow I'll Get Up and Pour Myself Some Tea, "I'll Take It, Boss!", How About Some Spinach, "I'll Be Good, Grandpa!", How to Fool a Lawyer, Ripe Wine, An Angel with the Devil in His Body, How Poets Taste Life...) as well as television series (The Cottage Residents, 30 Cases of Major Zeman, Once Upon a House, Arabela, We All Have to Go to School, Sons and Daughters of Jakub the Glassmaker, Circus Humberto, The Adventures of Criminalistics...) and gained great popularity among viewers. In collaboration with Větrovec's only daughter, Jitka, the first lavish and fully colored biography of this great actor was created. His life story is illustrated by nearly six hundred photographs. Many of them are from Jitka Větrovec's personal archive, and most are published for the very first time, which also applies to the extensive and exclusive interview with her. Větrovec's sister, Božena, also contributed her memories and photographs to the book...
