Pearls of the Deep (1966)
Directed by Věra Chytilová, Evald Schorm, Jaromil Jireš, Jiří Menzel, Jan Němec
Comedy · 1h 47m
A quintet of vignettes based on short stories by Bohumil Hrabal: an eventful trip to the motorcycle races results in drunkenness, long-winded discussions, and death; two elderly men create false biographies; insurance agents visit an eccentric painter/goat farmer and his mother; guests at a wedding reception remain oblivious to outlying misery; and a working-class boy romances a Roma girl.
