About

'In this satirical take on the Thirty Years’ War, Zeman’s continuing innovations in blending live action, animation and trick photography collide with the nascent Czechoslovak New Wave. A script from one of that movement’s most brilliant and protean talents, Pavel Juráček, and aesthetic inspiration taken from the 17th-century Topographia Germaniae engravings of Matthäus Merian, enliven this star-studded romp, a picaresque affair very much in the anarchic spirit of Jaroslav Hašek’s totemic The Good Soldier Švejk.' – Melbourne Cinémathèque.
