Zhelary

A Czech surprise. It looked like it was going to be a pretty linear fable of the pleasures of country living, and then the director throws in a twist. Really as good a serious movie as I've seen for some time out of Europe, which has been resting on its laurels a lot. Coasting. The cinematography is gorgeous, as if it had been underwritten by the Czech tourism board. Rent it.
