Svedek umírajícího casu
1991 · 1 hr 36 mins
At the beginning was the Slovak television series Lekár umierajúceho czasu (Doctor of Dying Time), dedicated to the Rudolphine-era scientist Jan Jesenius. He ended up on the scaffold along with other gentlemen after losing the anti-Habsburg uprising. When director Miloslav Luther conceived the idea of making an abridged version of the footage for cinema, he had to not only rebuild the storyline but also dub it into Czech. However, the result was only an illustrative puzzle, describing the various stages of the hero's turbulent life.
Director: Miloslav Luther
Cast: Petr Čepek, Emma Černá, Rudolf Hrušínský, Miloš Nedbal, Martin Huba
