MovieDrama
Dostoevsky’s latter-day opus about the siblings and their father is among the masterpieces of world literature. It asks profound questions about ethics and religion. Is there a God? Does the devil exist? Is everything allowed because we live in a world without morality? And if so, does patricide even constitute a crime? One of the most interesting adaptations of the material is The Karamazovs by Czech director Petr Zelenka. We witness a group of thesps from Prague on a trip to Krakow in Poland to stage the novel as a play in a derelict steelworks as part of the Closer to Life Festival. The project, however, is born under the bad sign, apparently doomed from the start. When they arrive, the roof is about to cave in, so that the actors are told to wear safety helmets. Their sole consistent audience is a laborer (Andrzej Mastalerz) who rather follows each dress rehearsal than watching over his seven-year-old son who has suffered a tragic accident in the factory.

It is a film consisting of six short stories, which mostly tell in a black humorous, ironic, often bitterly bitter form about an ancient curse, human infidelity, strange deviations, an unexpected miracle and hypocritical forgiveness. They have their own pointed structure, specific atmosphere and way of processing, and yet they pass on motives to each other that communicate with each other and observe the same things from different angles.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles is a detective classic that never fails to delight, with its clever plot, charmingly arranged scary scenes, and dry humor. All of this has been preserved in the theatrical adaptation by Petr Zelenka and Olga Šubrtová. They wrote it specifically for the castle park in Český Krumlov, where it is performed in front of the Revolving Auditorium. It premiered in June 2015, at the beginning of the summer festival season. Czech Television recorded The Hound of the Baskervilles at the end of summer 2018 with Karel Roden as Sherlock Holmes, Viktor Limr as Dr. Watson, and Jiří Suchý from Tábor as Sir Henry Baskerville.
