The Interpreter
Martin Sulík / SK, CZ, AT, 2018 / 114 min.
One broke through with his role of an awkward father in Toni Erdmann, the other is an Oscar-winning director and the ‘face of Czech cinema’. Peter Simonischek and Jiří Menzel encounter each other in a darkly comic road movie about the after-effects of WWII; the past brings the two closer together than they might have wished.
The now 79-year-old Menzel was one of the driving forces behind the Czech New Wave of the Sixties; his 1966 film Closely Watched Trains (Ostre sledované vlaky), set against the backdrop of the Nazi occupation, won the Best Foreign Language in 1968.
