22. STRACHOWSKI // JASINA: Dlaczego Polacy nie rozumieją Czechów? (cz. 1)

How can you not love the brave soldier Švejk? This jovial gentleman embodies everything we value in our southern neighbors: pragmatism, a love of life, and a perverse sense of humor. But love often blinds us, causing us to see only what we want to see. So, what are the Czechs really like? What does the cinema they created say about them? How did they tell the world about themselves, and how did they perceive themselves? Where did the phrase "Czech film" come from, and why is it misleading? Why were the ties between Czech and German cinema strong, even during the Nazi era? What do the film adaptations of their works reveal about the homeland of Hašek and Hrabal? And was Miloš Forman really a Czech director? Michał Strachowski and Dr. Łukasz Jasina, film scholar, sought answers to all these questions. ______________________ Political Theology podcasts, now available in excellent audio quality and high-quality video, can only be published thanks to the support of private cultural patrons.
