Obsluhoval Jsem Anglickeho Krale 4K Restored Ver.

A grand hymn to the life of a small waiter who nimbly survived turbulent Czechoslovakia. A masterpiece by Jiri Menzel, standard-bearer of the Czech New Wave, revived in a 4K restored version! Jiri Menzel, master of Czech cinema behind "My Sweet Little Village" and "Closely Watched Trains," brings to the screen a work by the literary giant Bohumil Hrabal! Set against the turbulent 20th century, it is a grand epic depicting the life of a man tossed about by the waves of desire and history, with humor, sensuality, and deep pathos. Jan, a small waiter who rises to become a great millionaire through single-minded devotion to serving. But the glory and love he grasps are quietly yet surely swallowed by the torrent of the times, as the Nazis rise and communism takes hold. In 1963, in Prague. The aged Jan, having finished a long prison term, heads down to a desolate borderland far from people. There he finds a beer mug, and it awakens his youthful days full of desire and turmoil. Jan, who once dreamed of becoming a hotel king, takes up the work of a waiter and greedily hones his skills. Eventually he is hired at the "Hotel Paris" in Prague and falls in love with Liza, a German woman even smaller than himself. However, with Hitler's invasion, he follows a turbulent fate. Includes a work commentary booklet.
