Intimate Lighting R2 (Second Run - Uk Import) - Passer, Ivan
Releasedatum: 30 januari 2006
Ivan Passer's comedy of provincial life is one of the key works of the Czech New Wave. It concerns the visit of Peter, a successful classical musician, and his girlfriend, to Bambas, an old friend who is the director of a small town music school. There is a family dinner, some amateur chamber music, a funeral, a wake and a late night drinking session. The visit allows the friends to reflect on themselves and how their lives have turned out. Intimate Lighting is a quietly funny film that has a lot to say about our lives and what we do to get by. Without bitterness, condescension or sentimentality, Passer judges the film perfectly. His debut as a director, he approaches the subject with a lightness of touch and a mature understanding of his characters. Intimate Lighting was also one of the first features shot by the renowned Oscar nominated cinematographer Miroslav Ondricek. It was the only feature film that Passer completed in the Czech Republic before the Russian invasion of 1968 forced him into exile in the United States, where he continued to make films including the classic Cutter's Way(1981).
