Muj pribeh is Vlastina Svatkova life-role
2 January 2020
Bravery ... this is the synonym for this Czech film inspired by real story about power of successful women in fight with tyranny and home abuse from her love. Taboo of many women is spoken by Elizabeth performed by Vlastina Svatkova in life role. Elizabeth emotions are more than well played and looks like that Vlastina sometimes open her hearth full of unpleasant memories. Other roles are cast by more than senior Czech actors Vilma Cibulkova, Pavel Kriz, Milan Knazko, Tereza Kostkova, Zuzana Norisova, Sasa Rasilov and others...

Pavel Kríz as new Eli love step above his shadow from Basnici series and performed with elegancy and fresh energy in this low cost film.

Only question is category of Muj pribeh. Drama, Romance, Thriller... film change genre in 90 minutes more than one.

Debut ... for directors duo Libor Adam and Hana Hendrychova is visible in first half of film, when story is telling by series of dialogs in fast sequence. Second half slow down a little bit when group of friends of Eli stared the way of healing soul by coffee sessions. This part is full of jokes and give hope to audience.

Respect ... to Lukas Hendrych, who has talent for storytelling and eye for detail. In limited space he is able to find attractive angle and with Peter Malasek who composed music, shifted Muj pribeh above Czech average. Film is more than television love-story.

Personally I really like some scenes like dancing performance on roof, which made me breathless. I hope that more girl and women will start to fight with tyranny and find necessary power to move on.
