I SERVED THE KING OF ENGLAND

Director: JIRI MENZEL

CZECH REPUBLIC – SLOVAKIA • 2007 • COLOUR • 118 MIN


FOLLOWING A LONG PRISON SENTENCE, JAN DITE LOOKS BACK OVER AN EVENTFUL LIFE, WHICH HAS SEEN HIM ELEVATE HIMSELF FROM HUMBLE WAITER TO NAZI BRIDEGROOM TO MILLIONAIRE CRIMINAL.
One of the most ambitious and expensive Czech films of all time, this historical epic is the long-awaited result of a protracted struggle for the screen rights to Bohumil Hrabal’s famed novel. It’s a beautifully performed and designed film, shaded with irony and festooned with moments of delightful physical comedy.To book, click [here]
