Pupendo

Directed by Jan Hrebejk

Czech Republic, 2003, 122 minutes

 

Pupendo shows the difficulty of life in Czechoslovakia during the 1980s. Artist Bedřich Mára is unable to find much secure work due to his public antagonism toward the ruling Communist Party. He has a wife and two children. Life begins to change when art historian Alois Fábera begins working on a piece about Bedřich, leading to a job offer from a Party official. Things are looking up, until the wrong people hear portions of the historian's writing.
