My first Czech film! Part of the Czech New Wave of the 60's.
This gentle, perceptive, film brilliantly directed by Jiri Menzel, follows a shy, sexually inexperienced novice train dispatcher at a village railway station in occupied Czechoslovakia during WWII.
My all time favorite coming-of-age film!
See it if you can! Won Best Foreign Language Film Oscar®.
Based on Bohumil Hrabal's book.
