Jaroslav Satoranský
Also Known As: Ярослав Саторанский
Biography: Původně se vyučil rytcem, ale zároveň začal hrát amatérsky divadlo, což jej následně přivedlo ke studiím na DAMU v Praze. Po absolutoriu oboru herectví (1961) nastoupil do Divadla J. Průchy v Kladně (1963-1966), odkud pak přešel do Vinohradského divadla v Praze (1966). V divadle dostal řadu příležitostí, především v klasickém repertoráru (Macbeth, Král Lear, Maryša, Strakonický dudák, Legenda o lásce). Před filmovou kamerou se Satoranský objevil poprvé v dětské detektivce ZPÍVAJÍCÍ PUDŘENKA (1959), o něco větší roli pak dostal v rodinném psychologickém dramatu s propagandistickým podtextem OSENÍ (1960). Po několika dalších filmech pak dostal hlavní roli v hudební komedii BYLO NÁS DESET (1963); na hodnotách tohoto kdysi populárního filmu zapracoval neúprosný čas. V průběhu šedesátých let pak Satoranský hrál menší role v řadě dalších filmů, komediích i dramatech, například jen v roce 1967 hrál v pěti snímcích. Od konce 60. let se pak objevoval také v televizních seriálech, jedním z těch prvních byla ZÁHADA HLAVOLAMU (1969), následoval například F. L. VĚK (1971). Nadále točil také filmy, ale jedná se dnes již o zapomenuté snímky. Těžiště jeho práce spočívá především v televizi, která mu především velkými rolemi v seriálech NEJMLADŠÍ Z RODU HAMRŮ (1975) a INŽENÝRSKÁ ODYSEA (1979) přinesla obrovskou popularitu, byť diskutabilní vzhledem ke společenské angažovanosti těchto děl a také časově omezenou. Za roli Jana Hamra dostal v roce 1976 televizní cenu Zlatého krokodýla. Naopak nadčasovou hodnotu vytvořil Jaroslav Satoranský svou účastí v dodnes slavném večerníčku KRKONOŠSKÉ POHÁDKY (1974). Ve filmu se objevil naposledy jako policista v dětské detektivce TŘETÍ SKOBA PRO KOCOURA (1983), od té doby pracoval výhradně pro televizi. Hrál v seriálech, pohádkách a televizních inscenacích, za zmínku stojí historické příběhy PŘÍPAD AUFFENBERG (1993) nebo MISIE (1994), v nichž hrál hlavní role. V poslední době jsme Jaroslava Satoranského mohli vidět například v oblíbeném seriálu ČETNICKÉ HUMORESKY (1997).

The Day the Tree Blooms
Overview: Based on a novel by Maria Majerova, this well-photographed but routine romantic drama is directed and co-scripted by Vaclav Krska. Set in a more old-fashioned time, the story centers around Lenka (Suzana Fisarskova), a young woman with a domineering, psychologically abusive father. When Lenka falls in love she suffers the ultimate injustice when her father and her family forbid her to marry the man. They see no advantage in such a union and want her to marry a wealthy local landowner instead, for obvious reasons. But Lenka is not as submissive as they think and she runs away to the city to look for the man she loves -- only to find a serious problem, though a surmountable one, is waiting for her.

Payment in Kind
Overview: In an unusual, apolitical approach, director Jaromil Jires has fashioned a standard drama that features an older lawyer with failing health who goes to practice in the countryside. His series of odd court cases reveals more about the human condition than about law. In one of these litigations a wayward nephew has cheated his elderly aunt out of her savings. In court, the nephew insists the money was a gift, but his aunt explains she only gave him the money as a loan. Although the lawyer technically wins the case, everything of value seems lost in the meantime. His services are paid for in rabbits because the aunt has no currency, and in the end, the nephew cons his aunt into parting with her savings anyway. Other cases expose similar types of petty corruption.
