	MovieMaker Magazine \| Issue #24 \| Kolya (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Winner of the Grande Prix at the Ninth Tokyo International Film Festival, Kolya is also a parable about change on multiple levels, ranging from the personal to the larger political forces at work in Prague on the eve of the Velvet Revolution in 1989.
		The gradual, organic process of writing Kolya was not unlike nurturing a brainchild evolving in the mind's eye.
		Kolya marks Sverak's third collaboration with his father on a film project.

	KOLYA
		Kolya's full naked body (the five-year-old) is occasionally seen while taking baths.
		Kolya gets out of the bathtub and walks up to see Louka taking a young woman's panties off, and as she spins around we see her bare breast.

	Kolya
		In the radiant "Kolya," a gem of a Czech film directed by Jan Sverak, who is the leading man's son, Louka is wryly transformed by the experience of having to look after this child.
		"Kolya," which is named for the child, is mercifully unsentimental in describing the subtle, bittersweet ways in which Louka's life is altered.
		"Kolya" indulges in light comedy when the little boy, played enchantingly by Andrej Chalimon, interrupts one of Louka's seductions, or when Louka denounces the child as an expansionist and scoundrel as he bends down to tie Kolya's shoes.

	WashingtonPost.com: 'Kolya': Czech Mates
		"Kolya," the Czech Republic’s Academy Award entry for Best Foreign Picture, is a sweet, sentimental sodacarbonated almost exclusively for international audiences.
		To fool the authorities, she leaves her 5-year-old son Kolya (Andrej Chalimon) in the care of his grandmother.
		Kolya, who needs schooling, feeding and his temperature taken when he’s sick, gradually takes over the cellist’s life.

	DVD.net : Kolya - DVD Review
		Kolya has been left with his grandmother, but she has collapsed and been rushed to hospital, hence the paramedics.
		Louka is forced to take care of Kolya and naturally a bond forms between them (despite the Czech/Russian language barrier), that finally comes under threat when the authorities get to his application and make arrangements to send Kolya back to Russia, and into the care of the Russian welfare system.
		With Kolya's mother nowhere to be seen and his grandmother dead, and Louka's sham marriage under investigation, it seems the world could not get any worse.

	Cinema In Focus
		Representative of the film as a whole, Kolya is therefore both a symbol and a catalyst for the healing which we witness within both individuals and the nation.
		Having left Kolya in the care of her aunt who subsequently becomes very ill, the boy is sent to stay with his “new father”.
		Kolya is both the victim of the dying totalitarian regime, and the catalyst for hope in his “new father’s” future.

	Kolya (1996) - A Hollywood Jesus Film Review.
		Louka: Zdenek Sverak, Kolya: Andrej Chalimon, Klara: Libuse Safrankova, Mr.
		The theme of Kolya is revealed with the boy's arrival in and eventual departure from Prague with the return of his mother.
		But perhaps, most notably, Kolya begs the question of who was rescued by whom--the child or the man, as it reveals bow the love and need of a small brought a grown man back to life by causing him to give up himself for the good of another human being.

	Kolya . Weekly Alibi . 03-12-97
		At the age of 55, our protagonist Frantisek Louka (Zdenek Sverak) is hovering somewhere between happy lifelong bachelor and grumpy old man. Louka was once a proud member of the Czech symphony, but a little tiff with the local Communist government led to Louka's fllisting.
		As Kolya hangs out with Louka on his daily rounds to the funeral homes, the young boy starts to become obsessed with death.
		Kolya may be one of the most enjoyable and accessible films to drift our way from across the seas in quite some time (since 1995's Il Postino?).

	Ruthless - the Acastus Kolya fanlisting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Kolya objects on the grounds that his men aren't ready yet, but ultimately accepts the mission anyway and almost succeeds in seizing Atlantis, but for a stroke of luck that alerts Major Sheppard to what's happening before he can be captured.
		In the end, Kolya and the Genii are tricked by Dr. Weir and McKay into leaving the city, believing it to be doomed, and Kolya is shot by Major Sheppard while attempting to take Weir with him as a hostage.
		Because of these personal losses, and the injury to his pride, the next time we see Kolya he is a very different man. Gone is the cool, controlled commander replaced by a man just as ruthless, but now burning with a need for revenge.

		He is left to look after her five year old son, Kolya (Andrej Chalimon), when the woman flees to Germany immediately after the marriage and the boy's grandmother dies.
		When the police and social welfare eventually catch up with the pair and announce their intention of sending Kolya back to Russia the audience is naturally anxious that nothing should separate this new family.
		As Kolya, Andrej Chalimon is enchanting and the director's father, Zdenek Sverák, who also wrote the screenplay, gives an exceptional performance in the lead role as Louka, bringing out the essential warmth and humanity of the character which lies beneath his outwardly sardonic and selfish exterior.

	DVD Times - Kolya (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The separation of Louka and Kolya comes about at the same time as political events culminate in the Velvet Revolution of the overthrow of the Communist authorities in Prague in 1989 and Louka is left looking at himself in the mirrored glass of the airport departure lounge doors.
		Sure, all the set-ups are quite predictable, with some calculated tear-jerking moments, and the lesson that Louka learns that you are never being too old to change your ways has been explored in a similar fashion in many other films where a confirmed bachelor has to deal with unexpected parenthood.
		Kolya was released earlier this year on Region 2 DVD by Buena Vista and is now available from the links to the left at budget price.

		Kolya is directed by Jan Sverak and stars his father, Zdenek, who also wrote the script.
		Financial pressures force Louka into a bogus marriage with a Russian beauty (a ravishing Irena Livanova), and through a series of fateful events, her son, Kolya (Andrej Chalimon), is delivered into his custody.
		At first their pairing is reluctant and strained by the political and linguistic incongruities between Russian and Czech, but they grow into a genuine father-son relationship that becomes blood-strong.

		Kolya, here beautifully translated by Ewald Osers, is the novelization of the Czech film of the same name, which won both the 1997 Oscar and Golden Globe awards for Best Foreign Language Film.
		Whilst at times I worry that some of the meaning of the story is lost for non- Russian and non- Czech speakers (part of the poignancy of this story is in that the little boy who becomes the ward of this old man speaks only Russian and the man speaks only Czech...
		This is a story to warm your heart, it is in the tradition of cinema that does not rely on creative use of light nor colour nor extensive dialogue.

		I have read the Epinion reviews on Kolya and was subjected to the reviews in the Western press when this movie came out in 1996.
		So naturally when I picked up Kolya in the foreign film section of the video store and read that it was set during Prague's Velvet Revolution, there was no choice but to rent it.
		Kolya won both the Oscar and the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film in 1996, and I must say such accolades are very well deserved.

		If Disney had a foreign film division, they might produce something very like Kolya, a sweet movie verging on sentimental that's just saved from being unforgivably cute by its political content.
		Louka (Zdenek Sverák), a middle-aged cellist forced from the Prague philharmonic by the communist regime, makes a deal to marry a young Russian woman.
