Milan Kundera: Od Žertu k Bezvýznamnosti 2021

Milan Kundera is shrouded in mystery. He has not given an interview in 30 years and doesn't appear in public, so we must learn about him from his work. His essays and philosophical discussions within his novels reveal a lot. Besides other, the film will ask: What in Kundera's work got him the status of a legendary author? What is so unique about his books? Helping us craft the story-line is a student who has a fantastic opportunity to do an interview with Kundera. After weeks of waiting in a cafe outside Kundera's house, reading his novels, the student soon starts to identify with some of the author's ideas. Through this, we are able to learn more about the message of Kundera's work, how and why his stories still move us and compel us not only to think about the protagonist, but about ourselves.

The film documentary about the work of the famous writer

Student thinks that he will get an interview with Milan Kundera , who is also famous for not giving interviews for 30 years. He gradually gets acquainted with his friends about the work of Milan Kundera, in order to finally understand the author in depth ...

Why was Milan Kundera's work so interesting all over the world? Why did he go to France and start writing in French? What is behind the fact that he prevented the translation of his latest novels into Czech? Or that he avoids cameras and publicity? The documentary about Kundera's work takes us to his native Brno, to the times when he studied and taught at FAMU, or to normalization, when he was prevented from creating and not being published, even though he was already gaining success abroad.
