The conversation of two intelligent men is pleasant to listen to, but it is very hard to keep the viewer's attention.

An overwhelming script composed of political memories, views on democracy, experiences with love and lovers. The characters of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk and Karel Čapek are presented here as dignified, educated, clever, but also as sensitive people with human qualities.

Great acting performances

Well-prepared actors such as Jan Budař as Čapek and Martin Huba in the role of Masaryk add quality to the film. Huba can do magic with just his voice, and thanks to his acting skills, he elevates the film a few degrees higher. Unfortunately, the debuting director Jakub Červenka and experienced screenwriter Pavel Kosatík should have opted for short films for television, rather than for the cinema.

The plot in a nutshell

In Topoľčianky, the President is writing notes, Karel Čapek comes to him to say goodbye because he has to go and see his friend Olga Scheinpflugová, who had a minor accident. Shortly before the departure, Čapek and Masaryk spend a short while talking in the arbour before taking a walk in the surrounding hills. This is the entire plot of the film, based on the real book Talks with TGM. Unfortunately, despite the excellent camera by Jan Malíř, this film does not work as a full-length feature film.

The problem is that the film lacks any dramatic conflict, it's all about talking, so the vast majority of viewers will have a problem with Talks with TGM in the cinema.

“Perhaps we will draw inspiration from the interwar period," things model Aneta Vignerová.

Views about fashion differ and fashion designers keep coming up with new things. But is it really so? Don´t they just keep re-inventing models of past eras? Among the current collections we often find similarities to dresses which used to be worn a century ago. Would we really wear in 100-years´ time the same things as in the period of the First Czechoslovak Republic?

"Maybe we will not be preoccupied with fashion any longer," said Ester Geislerová. 

Although the trend of today is sustainability, fantasy works at full throttle and we often imagine clothes of future times as transparent plastic coats in a kind of UFO style. Osmany Laffita offers a version of metallic clothes and Taťána Kovaříková comes with a theory that perhaps it will not be sewn at all! Esther Geislerová on the contrary thinks that we will not address these issues at all.

Those are the opinions of some famous Czech personalities. Are you interested in views of Czechs whom we asked the same questions in the streets of Prague? You can find them in the video HERE: Shiny overalls or plastic? We know what the Czechs think we will wear in 100 years´ time!
