Journey: A Portrait of Věra Chytilová

History/Biography, Czechia 2004

Seventy-four years old lady is still fighting her battles in professional and personal life. Her last feature film was a critic and audience disaster. Although she is respected like someone who was making the history of Czech Film she is not happy only with that. Her life seems to be perfect. She succeeded in everything that she wanted to achieve in her life: she was making films and even had enough strength to fight the communist prohibition. Some of those films are world masterpieces and won a lot of prices. In the private life she had a wonderful family: she was married with the great personality and a famous cameraman and had two children. She has a huge and beautiful house with garden, cats and dog, a real home … But when she turns back she has difficulties to see any meaning in her long and fruitful life.
