Jaroslav Vozáb
Also Known As: not available
Biography: Dlouholetý člen Divadla Járy Cimrmana se narodil 16.12. 1919 ve Velvarech u Prahy. Původní profesí překladatel se k dnes již legendárnímu souboru připojil v roce 1969 a poprvé se objevil ve hře Hospoda Na Mýtince. V mužském souboru byl častým představitelem ženských postav. Ve společnosti divadelních kolegů jsme jej v menších, leč rozhodně ne zanedbatelných rolích, mohli vídat i ve filmu. Jaroslav Vozáb měl velmi specifický projev a nezaměnitelný hlas. Právě proto byl režiséry obsazován a z epizodních rolí se díky němu stávaly nesmrtelné a hlášky pronesené jeho ústy až kultovní. Kdo neslyšel větu "Hujer, metelesku, blesku!" tak by se měl podívat na komedii MAREČKU, PODEJTE MI PERO (1976). Jaroslav Vozáb zde v roli tlumočníka doprovází zahraniční delegaci továrnou a uvedená replika měla být překladem příkazu "Hujere, jděte si po svejch!". Scénář z pera duchovních otců českého velikána Járy Cimrmana (S+S) je zde opět dotažen k dokonalosti. Jeho filmografie obsahuje takové klenoty české kinematografie jako NA SAMOTĚ U LESA (1976), KULOVÝ BLESK (1978), VRCHNÍ, PRCHNI! a POSTŘIŽINY (oba 1980), JÁRA CIMRMAN, LEŽÍCÍ, SPÍCÍ (1983), ROZPUŠTĚNÝ A VYPUŠTĚNÝ (1984) a mnoho dalších. V "gotickém příběhu" Jana Švankmajera OTRANTSKÝ ZÁMEK ztvárnil hlavní roli badatele. Krátkometrážní pseudodokument odhaluje historii jednoho hradu v Severních Čechách. 3. dubna 1988 Jaroslav Vozáb navždy odešel. Pochován je v rodných Velvarech.

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.

The Snowdrop Festival
Overview: This movie is based on texts of Bohumil Hrabal, world-known Czech prosaic. It's a story (in a form of a mosaic of short episodes and pictures) about the sadness and happiness of inhabitants of Kersko (Kersko is a small woody area full of cottages and roods). These people are both simple and sensitive, they have their own pleasures (e.g. Leli is a collector of cheap, but inutile things) and the greatest delight of all of them is a hunting. Crude poetics of amateur hunting is screened by dreamy pictures of this area. Menzel mixes sentimental lyricism and rough (but not vulgar!) humor and the outcome is the never-ending landscape of continuous life in the proximate nearness of nature. The performances of actors are brilliant. Both Rudolf Hrusinsky as a Franz and Jaromír Hanzlik as a Leli have nonrecurring charm bottomed on a pain and inebriation. Only the music is not perfect: Jiri Sust usually assembled his film music from his older works and in this movie there is many quotations.
