Skrítek (2005)
9/10
Very European, painful, absurd, beautiful, and funny!

Skritek is an absurd movie, completely over the top, and full of quick jokes, great characters and chocking situations. It's almost completely without words, so you don't have to speak the Chech language.

We see a family (mom, dad, son, daughter) which is unhappy. All of the members have there own miserable life, and the all try yo change it. But the 'family values' are so strong that there is no progression possible. In this way the movie is a commend on the strict way we think about families in the West. The only boring thing is the little imaginary friend of the youngest daughter,who get's too much attention.

This movie shows a kind of humor which is typically European: very painful, but absurd. And of course, the end of the story is not at all positive.
