Case For A Rookie Hangman
''Case for a Rookie Hangman'' ( cs, Případ pro začínajícího kata) is a Czechoslovak drama film directed by Pavel Juráček. It was released in 1970. The movie belongs to the Czech New Wave. The movie can be classified as a surrealist or absurdist satire, and it is based loosely on the third book of '' Gulliver's Travels'' by Jonathan Swift, but the story is transferred to an early 20th-century world in decay. The movie shows also the influence of Franz Kafka and Lewis Carroll (''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland''). The satire is aimed at the Czechoslovak society, and the movie was soon banned after its release in 1970. That meant also the end of Juráček's career. Cast * Lubomír Kostelka – Lemuel Gulliver * Klára Jerneková – Markéta * Milena Zahrynowská – Dominika * Radovan Lukavský – Professor Beiel * Jiří Janda – Patrik * Luděk Kopřiva – Vilém Seid * Miloš Vávra – Emil * Miroslav Macháček Miroslav Macháček (May 8, 1922 – Februa ...
