Long Live the Family!

3 votes

Producing House

Libor, a former teacher, enjoys a well-paid position as a bank manager, living in a luxurious villa outside Prague. His business partners are taken into custody and the authorities have a few questions for him to answer. Rather than wait around, he decides to take off to Moravia with his wife and two children. In the process, he pretends that everything is normal, rediscovers the value of family life, meets up with a former colleague lost in provincial obscurity, and becomes the object of a manhunt. Libor is not a criminal type, merely someone who signs cheques and is drawn into a business world failing to recognise its own criminality (he doesn’t even flee the country).

<em>'Long Live the Family!'</em> is decent. It features quite an interesting story, albeit told in a perhaps slower way than what I would've deemed more apt - still a relatively intriguing watch, mind. Igor Chmela and Eva Vrbková are very good in lead roles, they have one or two strong scenes together. There is also a neat opening credits <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC4RHJDura8" rel="nofollow">song</a> used. I personally would've liked better characterization of the people searching for Libor, as well as a clearer picture of the whole situation itself. The opening scenes are good for that, while the rest of this Czech picture is moreso about the family - which I do still appreciate, admittedly. A run-of-the-mill 7/10 rating from me.
