I didn't start watching the film with any expectations, but the story and the film's atmosphere hit me very much within. I've also read the book that was the source material and compared to the movie. The book is more direct in its message. In the movie, the messages are more implied and so you don't really know what the two words are. But I suspect I do.
The acting is great, the music and cinematography are haunting.
Perhaps I missed some element of lightness, of humor, in the film. The characters seemed constantly morose and serious.
Despite that the film is certainly worth seeing and I recommend it to anyone who wants to see a film with a deeper and more sensitive message. Definitely one of the best Czech films I've seen.
