Forgotten Light

Even here in the Czech Republic - movie´s country of origin - this is almost forgotten piece. The story (inspired by the true story) about catholic priest who must find his way through life in uneasy time of communist regime hostile to Catholic church and deal with the reality of his helplessness when a woman he platonicly loves is fighting her already lost battle with deadly disease is really touching and sad atmosphere of a small Czech city in the 80´s is nicely depicted. Main character is superbly played by Bolek Polivka who is known mainly for his comedy roles but who is able to handle dramatic roles as well. For me, this is true hidden gem of the Czech cinematography!
