MARZEC'68 (MARCH 1968)
Watchable. The beginning is trite, the love behaviours exaggerated. Poor acting: the lead girl and a number of actors and extras act as if they were enjoying themselves - completely out of place. No explanation why the performance was banned and how it led to the riots. Archive footage mixes with contemporary enactions of the events almost frame by frame. An English song and American rock show the aspirations of the youngsters behind the Iron Curtain. Still, the movie's simplistic, it fails to get under the skin of communism. On the other hand, it's worth seeing to learn historical facts of the 1968 forced emigration to Israel. Only the ending is poignant.
Reviewed from the distributor's screener, cinematic reception might differ.
