Bandits of the Ballad

NR 1 hr 24 minDocumentary, Drama
A burnedout group of Brno intellectuals decides to go to Kolochava in Ukraine to perform A Ballad for a Bandit there With these words the authors collective presents their film in which they use primarily documentary imagery to compose a lyrical grotesque about an epochal trip which might be their goal But it doesnt have to be The main tool of expression here is the films edit which places various shots statements and meanings next to each other often in a sort of productive conflict Just like in a poem the poetic function of art and its ability to serve as the primary tool for expressing beauty is manifested in full force before our very eyes
DirectorVladimír Morávek
