Biography
Josef Kemr se narodil 20. června 1922 v Praze do rodiny švadleny a ševce. Mladého Josefa vedl otec k umění a po něm zdědil nadání hraní na strunné nástroje. S bratrem vystupoval už v roce 1932 ve Vinohradském divadle a později i ve filmu. Vystudoval Obchodní školu v Praze v roce 1942 a ihned odešel k divadelní kočovné společnosti A. Budínské – Červíčkové (1942 – 1945). Poté prošel divadlem na Kladně (1945 – 1947), divadlem Akropolis (1947 – 1948), Divadlem S. K. Neumanna (1948 – 1950), Městskými divadly pražskými (1950 – 1965) a činoherním souborem pražského Národního divadla (1965 – 1995), kterého byl členem až do své smrti.

In 1947 by the Beskid mountains, the traces of war still linger, destroyed tanks dispersed throughout the farmland creating an eerie backdrop. This film follows a ten-year-old boy and the strange visions he encounters, his world of fantasy exacerbated with ample time, space, and a lack of companionship or guidance. We see the adults that influence and dominate his life, for better or for worse. Surreal and packed with an excellent study of human emotions and motivations compounded by their rural, isolated vacuum of a town, this is a timeless and severely underrated film from a brilliant Czech director.

Já jsem Stěna smrti
Wartime events from a child's perspective were a popular theme during the previous regime - here it is a twelve-year-old village boy who experiences dangerous situations with retreating Nazi troops in picturesque South Bohemia... Any attempt to achieve a more believable depiction is destroyed by the staging's grandeur, and in the end the result is an awkward piece, suitable at most for celebrating the relevant national holidays. A longer copy with a tragic ending is stored in the NFA. Milda is shot unnoticed by an SS major.
