Dlhá krátka noc (2003)
Slovak version "Night on Earth"
A very good Slovak version of "Night on Earth" where we can follow several human destinies strung on the thread of a bus line in which the main heroine finds herself and experiences sorrows and happyness with random fellow passengers. Thanks to these meetings, she somewhat embarks on a journey of knowing her past in order to free herself from her demons and emotional blackmail from her mother. However, the story is presented with great kindness. The production is good and balances the atmosphere very well and manages to avoid silence. The actors play their roles well, but their work is somewhat messed by dubbing of Petr Debnár.
Zhrnajova nevesta (1978)
A fairly well-made fairy-tale like TV movie
A fairly well-made fairy-tale like TV movie where love triumphs over avarice. The story of the rich peasant Zhrnaj who decides to marry the shepherdess of the geese only because she does not eat and feeds only on the air from the wooden pillar. It is quite funny story how poor workers outwit possessive peasant and make him kind man. Nice songs and dances diversify and supplement plain story. Production is only television and almost all atmosphere is created by actors. But Vlado Müller is great actor who proves his abilities to play dramatic and comical roles too. His parner Zuza Kronerová acts also very well.
Zypa Cupak (1976)
Slovenian Sváko Ragan
Zypa Cupak is slovenian Sváko Ragan. A strong character permeated by rural dialect and customs. He lives in village Blantno in Slovenia. One day he received letter which strange name Zypa Cupak. First he thinks that letter is for someone else but police officer explans him that name Duro Syrák in lantin is written as Zypa Cupak in cyrilic. The letter is from their nephew Stevko to invite them to his wedding in Belgrade. This starts his fanny trip. The production is of high quality and creates space for the actors who portray their roles naturally and believably. The clash of a simple peasant with the urban environment and the elite is the cause of many funny plots. Which, however, are funny mainly thanks to the eloquent speech and reactions of the main character.
