Kouzelník Žito

I found the lead actor extremely unlikeable. He recited his lines as convincingly as a tractor driver on TV news. I wasn’t pleased with Pavel Kříž’s wooden acting either and the representatives of Hell were the culmination of everything bad. Bolek Polívka was a very bad choice for the role of Lucifer and both devils were as if straight out of Zdeněk Troška’s films (not a compliment). I gave one star for the fact that it didn’t become the Pirates of the Caribbean. I still don't understand why fairy tales have turned into musicals with pathetic tunes and lyrics. One moment I’m watching a fairy tale and the next I’m suddenly watching a lame musical. Odd. (24.12.2018)

This was quite terrible. Way too long, boring and full of almost willingly desperate or, in turn, horrendously affected creations. Particularly Taťána Vilhelmová could have graced more than one film by Zdeněk Troška with her performance. That’s all I have to say about it, other than that I’d prefer to see Lucifer Bolek Polívka in another, better fairy tale. (24.12.2018)
