Adela Has Not Had Supper Yet
Slovak psychological drama from the end of World War II. The plot of the film takes place in a short period of time just before the outbreak of the uprising. It is the story of a man who wages his "private" war against the man who is responsible for the serious injury of his brother. The upcoming Slovak National Uprising becomes the backdrop for a model-built story that touches on stubborn personal revenge in a situation of war conflict, when human life loses all value. The actions of the main character thus sound like increasingly absurd actions, his motives and the impact of his actions are relativized, the very legitimacy of such a belief appears shaky.
Súkromná vojna
Films with a work theme, which still proclaimed that work should be the first need of man, underwent only a gradual development. The clash of stagnant, fearful thinking with innovative methods, albeit in a significantly modified form, is nevertheless preserved. In this case, we find ourselves in a machine tool factory, where manual labor is to be replaced by robotic equipment. This provides a rare chance to see this forgotten film, which the audience completely ignored - at the time of its creation, it was seen by about a thousand people.
