Magnificent screenplay based on Hasek's famous book. I used to read the book translated in English whenever I felt down. Now instead I watch this movie and the positive effect on my mood is even stronger. I watched it many times.
The caricature of life is exhilarating. So many talented actors in this movie! Their performance is unforgettable. Reading the subtitles does make it a bit more difficult to watch it the first time, but if you watch the movie again, it is less of a problem. The director must be congratulated as well. A masterpiece.
