Can you help me?


Hi,

I saw long time ago a Czech movie that was extraordinary. I think it was made in the sixties or seventies. Unfortunately I don't know the title - I don't know the director either. I watched it on TV sometime in the 80's.

I thought it was a movie by Forman - it seems that it is made by another Czech filmmaker.

It is about a group of very old people, living in a small town - they prepare the celebration of 50 or 60 years since they had graduated the high school. As they are very old, all kind of comic situations arrive. One of them is particularly nasty - actually he hopes to meet at the celebration his love from the high school years. He had got married with another girl - as her father was somehow wealthy - then he was not very happy during his life.

The day of the event comes - only the old flame is no more - she had died a couple of months ago.

The old nasty fellow leaves the party, not to be seen as he was crying. A friend comes and hugs him, 'let's do some funny - let's dance in the park, barefoot'

If someone knows the title of the movie, and the director, it would be great - I think it is a splendid movie.

It is a legendary czech TV film from 1980 called "Nezralé maliny" (Unripe raspberries), directed by Frantisek Filip and written by Jiri Hubac. It´s a real jewel among tv works of that time. Information about it is unfortunately very rare anywhere.

Thank you so much - I will try to write in essay on my blog about this movie, in Romanian and perhaps also in English. I will let you know.
