Show!

A surprisingly intimate portrait of how the dream of running one’s own business can take on monstrous contours. Managed by the father of one of the singers, over the course of five years the girl band 5Angels had reached the gates of pop fame. But it is a path paved not only with the songs of Michal David, but also with the dogged determination of a man who loses any notion of where his role as manager ends and his role as parent begins. An emotionally moved Karel Gott, five angelic girls, and one overly involved father, thanks to whom the behind-the-scenes pre-Christmas atmosphere melts away just as rapidly as the fat should disappear from the belly. “A singer can’t be a lard bucket!”

The Man Who Made Angels Fly

When the lights dim and the stage is revealed, Meschke channels life through the strings of his puppets, triggering the spiritual connection between the creator and his alter-egos: the charismatic Don Quixote, the loving Penelope, the inquisitive Baptiste, or the mysterious Antigone. THE MAN WHO MADE ANGELS FLY is a poetic story about a master of his craft that has inspired audiences to reflect upon common issues of suffering and the mortal coil. Visionary and un-biographic, imaginary tribute to the puppeteer.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

In the opening of the previous Kapten Grogg shorts you get to see the animator drawing the opening shot. In this one the animator is working as usual, but he is tasked with making a portrait of Kapten Grogg. The good captain then comes for a visit, and turns into a slapstick chase through the apartment. It is surprisingly well done and fun! While the animation is clearly flawed at times (jumpy at some points, and see through at other), other scenes are really good!If you are watching these because you are curious about the history of animation, then don't skip this! It's actually really well done! I could imagine showing this short in front of later feature length movies doing the same thing, like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Mary Poppins or Song of the South.
