Based on the poetics of Alain-Fournier, this is probably Kachlík's best film. Unfortunately, the book and the movie of the same name have been forgotten for years. The film was last appreciated when it was created in San Sebastian. It’s a pleasant surprise from the early 1980s. A tasteful period piece with interesting adaptation and well-led actors. We can really only hope for more reruns of it on TV.
