Watch Golden Sixties Season 1 Episode 23 Online

A filmmaker tied to his homeland in way very few people are, and yet forced by circumstance to become, against his will, a runner through foreign lands. His beginning was in tandem with Karel Kachyňa, and he had liberated himself from the diligent service to the communist regime by the socio critical trilogy Desire (Touha, 1958), The Cassandra Cat (Až přijde kocour, 1963), All Good Citizens (Všichni dobří rodáci, 1968). However he paid for it by the loss of his prominent position and an enforced emigration in 1970. In his motherland he got an opportunity to make a feature Return to Paradise Lost (Návrat ztraceného ráje, 1999) and thereafter continued with documentaries and with his long-life passion - photography.
