Mannheim-Heidelberg International Filmfestival YearResultAwardCategory/Recipient(s) 1969 Won Grand Prize Dusan Hanák A government official in Czechoslovakia mistakenly believes he has cancer. He reasons his involvement in clandestine activities during the Stalin administration have fated him to die from a dreaded disease. He searches for inner peace as he feels the guilt of his past transgressions. This film tied for the Grand Prize at the Mannheim Film Festival in 1969. Slovak director Dusan Hanak was one of Czech cinema's brightest and best talents of the '60s and '70s, but because of censorship this was not manifest until the late '80s. Dusan made an impact on the film world with his auspicious debut 322 (1969). Though banned until 1988, when it was finally released, it earned international acclaim and the Grand Prix award at the Mannheim Film Festival. Hanak's sophomore effort, the documentary Obrazy Stareho Sveta/Image of an Old World (completed in 1972), was also not released until 1988 and neither was his 1980 film Ja Milujem, Ty Milujes/I Love You, You Love. Only Hanak's 1976 film Ruzove Sny/Rose-Tinted Dreams passed muster with censors and saw a timely release.

影片以一个小男孩的视角描写了东欧“二战”期间的悲惨景象。小男孩的父母把他送到乡下避难，但与他失去了联系。男孩开始在各个村庄之间流浪。因为他的黑头发、黑眼睛，村民认为他是吉卜赛人，会给村子带来不祥，以各种方式折磨他。他曾被埋在土里，只有脑袋露在外面，乌鸦将他啄得伤痕累累。他目睹人们在暴力、堕落和无知的牢固链环中彼此吞噬。当他躺在铁轨上，让火车从自己身上呼啸而过，他体会到的只有饱受凌辱却依然幸存的快乐。影片在黑白光影下呈现出绝美的视觉质感，一出战争浮生录在魔幻的视角下就此展开。

This apocalyptic parable carries within it a clear echo of the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia. This unforgiving exploration of the Czech mentality tells the tale of a troupe of wandering actors who perform a passion play in some unnamed village. Fear of some unknown danger breaks out in the village, which is cut off from the surrounding world. Stupidity, selfishness and aggressiveness then come to the surface in this society under threat. In the film's key scene, a woman is raped by the self-styled leader. Zdenuk Mahler, who would later work on Forman's examination Mozart Amadeus, worked on the script. The director Evald Schorm (1929-1988) was one of the most original members of the Czech "New Wave". During the "normalization" era, Schorm spent many years unable to direct. His last film, Killing with Kindness (1988) was only made in the twilight years of Communism. During that period when he was unable to direct films, he became an outstanding stage director. He directed groundbreaking productions at the "Na zábradlí" Theater and Laterna Magika.
