Jiri Menzel aka TELEFILIA
...and who doesn't know them, it makes the work so easy for them
they’re confusing higgledy-piggledy making crap
they call it avant-garde or post-modernism or what...
but it is basically only an absence of education

...Mr. King... he is so hasty...
Hey, they’ve said you’ve smashed the Praguer’s fence...
The collaboration of screenwriter and director
is in our case as follows:
I write a script...
If Menzel likes it, I hand it to him...
having clear conscience, because I know he will do the best he can.
So I totally did not know they’ll be jumping around together
Labuda and.. and...
...and I said: I didn’t realize it’s such a good idea!
Him, Labuda, once long time ago started thanking me...
because suddenly he has found in The Little Village new field.
And I said: Marian, don’t thank me. I have to thank You.
Becasue...
without you the film would not be that good.
...see? The same way table stands on table legs...
the film stands on people who play the parts.
There is no coincidence.
People go to the movies not to see the director, but the ACTOR.
He implied what he wanted. Take my case for example...
and I was grateful to him for it to great extent
he always wanted me to walk upright.
UPRIGHT! It was the only comment before action.
And indeed he was right, because I am this stooped casual fella
I maybe even sometimes...
It was fitting for the role.
I would walk there like ***, such an ***.
It would be already telling. So it was good of him to say.
Similarly I had to teach the children to whistle there
this I offered to him and he took it
Or the servant, who wants to escape...
I say, he should be locked up somewhere.
so he found somewhere such trapdoor stamp ground on it and...
This cast was my life part...
one of the biggest, most beautiful parts in my life.
Two years ago or so...
or before the tabloids get the job wit it...
this nasty thing that happened...
and that happens commonly in many families...
and, which, in fact, is not exceptional at all...
It was exceptional in this case since she was honest...
and told me everything instantly.
And because I love her, I wished her happiness...
even with new partner.
It was our deal from the beginning we know that this must come one day.
And, yes, Olga wished a child...
which I understood, but I am sort of egoist.
I have this fixed idea that my own child would not be the healthy one...
because I am too old already.
So... so... well...
I was against it.
Since I was a child.
Actually I never had the urge for reproduction.
I was always afraid that a weakling will be born as I myself used to be.
Jirka loves Annie a lot.
He cherishes her.
I think they have really nice relationship.
Father-daughter relationship.
He is trying his best, sometimes he is even little clumsy...
It's cute.
Annie is 3 years old and she is instructing him successfully...
in all sorts of things...
hoodwinking him.
I'm always telling him this is not the way the upbringing should look like.
We stayed friends.
It was not easy for me.. but later it happened...
in fact...
...that Annie belongs to all of us.
To her biological father...
to her mother, and, so to say, also I myself have some right on her.
So it has happy ending.
The girl is healthy and our common goal is that the girl has happy youth.
Happy childhood without all sorts of hassle so...
so I guess I am lucky like I always was.
There is nothing between us
...except few slips.
we were born for each other that’s what I think.
I don’t want another girl I believe.
Jiri Menzel...
a man who appreciate harmony...
and he also spreads the harmony.
He is a man with beautiful sense of humour...
even in his age...
having the soul of little child...
and he is a classy guy.
His refinement shows in that...
he would never hit a man...
and if somebody gets on his nerves...
he whips him with twig.
They decorated it like this for me later on.
That’s it.
...and he was poet...
..he wrote...
and he was very delicate and fine man...
who was married to an actress and she was insulted
by some journalist who have written a play she did not want to play in
so he has written really ugly article about her.
And Mr. Kvapil took on white gloves...
silk hat...

and then he greeted politely and left. I liked it a lot.
...and I Served the King of England, those films were supported...
even from others than national funds.
And I think here certain role played his...
sort of uncertainty if he has the right...
to shoot something of his choice.
found some data from film yearbook concerning the number of visitors
and the film I Served the King of England,
six months after its premiere...
eight hundred thous...
...invited to the festival
...invited to the festival and there was screening for millionaires...
...and he came back shocked saying:
They are applauding!
During shooting... I mean screening. They applauded.
And then, after the screening, there was press conference.
I saw the journalists coming.
everybody was clapping their hands, exhilarated.
Among them three Czech reviewers totally confused
because they did not get what the foreigners can like on that film.
And remember that you have to everything see...
and everything hear.
We had only one tendency from the very beginning,
to do it the way they would let us shoot another films.
Because there is nothing wor...
...they are patting you on your back... oh yes...
