The new owner of the chateau in the foothills of the Giant Mountains, Štěpán, arrives with his younger brother Adam, and the beautiful Comtesse Blanka. Adam discovers an old book that describes a path to treasures, and a mysterious stranger offers to lead them to the treasure under certain conditions. Will the expedition be successful? What mystery does the painting at Hůrka Chateau hide and what terrible things once happened in the mountains? And who is Krakonoš and what is his biggest secret? (Zlín Film Festival)

J'étais bien conscient qu'il n’y avait pas de comparaison possible avec le film culte. Mais quand on a grandi avec un Krakonoš menaçant et impulsif avec un Trautenberg constamment en train de jurer et de crier, le Krakonoš joué par David Švehlík donne l’impression d’un ermite philosophe. Quant à son principal antagoniste, sous les traits de Jakub Prachař, il est le plouc fade qu'il a été dans presque tous ses films récents. Même les charmants personnages féminins et Ondřej Sokol ne peuvent sauver l'intrigue terne dans laquelle les personnages évoluent au sein d’un genre de néant. Peter Bebjak devrait s’en tenir au film policier, il est très bon dans ce style.

Competitor in the territory! Competitor in the territory! I expected that the greedy feudal Prachař would receive a few lessons and that, following the evening fairy tale model, there might be a controlled provocation from the legendary spirit of the mountains. Instead, it’s more about Rýbrcoul’s jealousy and slightly sociopathic tendencies, which miraculously vanish only when ownership changes through the Jilemnice cadastral office. The sympathetic balance across several genre directions (primarily myth) and characters who don’t overact or speak like influencers promoting facial cosmetics stand out. Among them, Sokol’s ethnographer, who plays his role somewhat like a variation of the butterfly hunter Lord Castlepool, stands out. Some moments hinted that he might come out of the bathroom in a mossy bathrobe in the final scene at Krakonoš’s abode, but I understand that the audience isn’t quite ready for some things yet...
