- Synopsis:
- A manifesto for a new generation of young filmmakers, 'Pearls of the Deep' is one of the delights of the Czechoslovak New Wave. Based on stories by Bohumil Hrabal, the film is a compendium of five films demonstrating the differing styles of five emerging filmmakers, each with a unique approach to Hrabal's multi-faceted tales of ordinary people and odd obsessions. Ranging from the surreal to the satirical and the romantic, the films capture the spirit of Hrabal's work and emerge as a joyous rallying cry for subversion and artistic expression.
