Zátah

The tough outlaw Ladislav Potměšil and his newly of-age driver, who keeps running away from reformatories, are always one step ahead of the incompetent justice system. Investigators regularly meet under the image of Husák, but the result is only a few disrupted homosexual and heterosexual encounters, and as part of uncollegial cockblocking, even one in the attempt phase. Many scenes do take place in complete darkness, but it is clear to everyone that the violent recidivist will not recognize the beauty of Denmark, and the pair of detectives, Rudolf Jelínek and Jiří Kodet, don't even break a sweat (the latter in that little jacket probably looked like he moonlighted selling coupons). The very last shot left the time-and-space-oriented viewer with a question: Did the look from one of the characters mean that she could only find good for herself in the east? I rather think she was starting to realize that she was in deep trouble. (29/08/2024)
