Czech films can be said to go against the grain of the mainstream Western cinema, which attempts to dazzle audiences with spectacular effects at almost any cost and as soon as possible.
Though Czech moviegoers are interested in seeing what is truthful in life, they do not seem to respond to portrayals of life’s harsh realities; their desire is to see life with a decidedly optimistic point of view.
