Štěstí

A television short story that could easily be made on a TV network today, with a few more vulgarities added. It's a naive comedic tale about a hairdresser infatuated with a famous singer and a case of mistaken identity. It would be more believable if the hairdresser were a teenager just out of training, because the position of an adult woman playing a teenager comes off as awkward rather than funny due to overacting. As for Josef Laufer, playing an engaged producer of normalization-era songs, it's not my cup of tea. Overall impression: 40%. (08/10/2010)
