Something Different
O něčem jiném (original)
The debut feature from Věra Chytilová interweaves two stories simultaneously: one a narrative about a frustrated mother (Vera Uzelacová) discontented with the drudgery of housework, the other a quasi documentary about a gymnast (real-life Olympic gold medalist Eva Bosáková) training for a final competition before she retires. Taken together, they form a piercing portrait of women’s experiences in 1960s Czechoslovakia and a daring first expression of the feminist themes Chytilová would explore in subsequent works like DAISIES.
Starring Věra Uzelacová, Josef Langmiler, Jiří Kodet, Milivoj Uzelac, Jaroslava Matlochová, Luboš Ogoun, Vladimír Bosák, Eva Bosáková, Dagmar Cejnková, Jiří Cejnek
