Movie Reviews of Zelary
Movie Review: Filmed and 5 Stars
Zelary is a well done and interesting story. It begins in the Nazi occupied city of Prague during World War II. Joza, a middle aged man, from a mountain village, is brought to the hospital because he was seriously injured in a saw mill accident. The nurse Eliska who is on duty, helps by donating blood to save the injured Joza.Eliska is also working in the Czech Resistance as a carrier. When the Nazis find out about the young woman's underground work, her boyfriend, a doctor in the hospital convinces her to leave the city and go with Joza to his home in the mountains where she can hide. The transition from city life to a cabin in a very rural area is not easy for the young and sophisticated nurse. She has to learn to blend in and become part of the rural life.
The story has everything, love, hope and historic significance. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and the actors were all very believable.
Don't miss this one. It's unforgettable!
Movie Review: Magnificent, multi-layered adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
Since its surprise nom at the '08 Oscars, I was compelled to see this film, and I'm quite pleased that I did. Under the dark umbrella of the Nazis, Czechoslovakia endured. A clever plot bringing a resistance fighter on the lam to the remote mountain title village, her adventure is at once upsetting and renovating. The simplicity of it all soon takes over, and we see a slice of life rife with love, suspicion and general cameraderie. Exquisitely photographed, sensitively directed by Ondrej Trojan, and fine editing (belying it's 2˝ hour running time) make this a feast for the eyes, ears and heart. A stunning performance from Anna Geiserovĺ carries this film with conviction, as well as Gyorgy Cserhalmi as Joza, her savior and, ultimately, the love of her life. I've read the other reviews, and there's not much more to say. I'm very pleased to have experienced this "Zelary". DVD extras are few but instructive. Ms. Geislerovĺ deserved an Oscar nom, a very complete and diverse performance. Bravi to all!Movie Review: Breathtaking Film
Summary: 5 Stars
As one who spent almost a year teaching in the Czech Republic, I was pleasantly surprised by this beautiful film. It captures the Czech culture and it's colorful people so wonderfully, even in the midst of the turmoil of World War II. The relationships in the the film are sweet and charming and I actually spread my viewing of this film over 3 nights, not wanting it to come to an end. The story was so lovingly told and you really became attached to each of the people. At times,I found myself not even reading the English subtitles, because I was so engrossed in the gorgeous cinamatography and beautiful characters. I would highly recommend this film.Movie Review: One of the best movies in the last few years
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is amazing. The most amazing part of it, it is inspired by a true stroy. The actors are superb and beautiful, and the theme heartbreaking. It comes to show one of the many faces World War II presented to people. It demonstrates how one event can alter a life in a dramatic way. I don't want to give away much of the plot on my review, because I saw the film in a theatre with absolutely no clue as to what it was about, and really could live in my own flesh every single feeling this beautiful woman was going through. Trust your instincts and watch it. This is the kind of film you will remember for the rest of your life!!!!Movie Review: One of the best foreign films
