It's mainly all about Kňažko's acting orgy, but Papilio is worth a look. Jiří Svoboda found who he was in the 1980s and created a whole series of excellent things, and Papilio is among the best of the whole loose series about balancing the past. Svoboda's cold aesthetics seemed to directly call for depicting emotions like butterflies in glass cases. Of the supporting roles, Kodet's decadent Nazi is worth special mention, a role that only he could really do at this time. ()
