The heroine of this drama about
injustice during the collectivization
of the Czech countryside is a proud
widow, who arranges a magnificent
funeral for her recently deceased hus-
band. The funeral ceremony for this
honourable farmer who had resisted
the state-sanctioned liquidation of
farmers and landholders is transformed
into a manifestation of resistance
against the Communist overlords.
This story of the struggle against in-
justice was based on a novel by the
dissident writer Eva KantÛrková,
whose official publication was also
prohibited during “normalization”. Si-
rov˘’s best film has the outline of a
Classical tragedy and is framed by
suggestive shots of the countryside.
The film’s long-delayed premiere in
1990 was broadcast on television and
attended by President Václav Havel.
During “normalization” the director
Zdenek Sirov˘ (1932-1995) primarily
made his living doing film dubbing.
He did make a number of quite ordin-
ary adventure films and after the fall
of Communism he shot an adaptation
of the popular satire The Black Barons
about conditions in the Communist
military in the 1950s. During the final
years of his life, cut short by disease,
he was a respected teacher at Prague’s
Film and TV School of the Academy
of Performing Arts.
