Political implications?
The back of my Criterion DVD says that this film is "a provocative political satire" that is "presumed to be a commentary on the floundering Czech leadership", noting also that it was "'banned forever' in Czechoslovakia following the Russian invasion".
As I know next to nothing about Czech political history, I could almost feel most of the film whizzing over my head as I watched it. Could somebody give me a hand and explain the political significance of this film? How is it a satire?
And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
