“Jasný is the spiritual father of the Czech New Wave” Miloš Forman

These two films by Vojtech Jasný, one of Czechoslovak cinema's most renowned and influential film artists, tell deceptively simple tales of rural life.

"Desire" (Touha, 1958), a lyrical film poem beautifully shot across four seasons, represents the eternal cycle of human life from birth to death. A key film in the evolution of Czechoslovak cinema, Second Run present "Desire" for the first time anywhere on Blu-ray.

1959 Cannes Film Festival / Winner: Special prize, Prix de la meilleure sélection

"All My Good Countrymen" (Všichni dobrí rodáci, 1968) made a decade later, weaves together the stories of a group of friends whose lives reflect the seismic political changes in post-war Czechoslovakia.

One of the wonders of the Czech New Wave, this autobiographical masterpiece, made with deep affection for corruptible, flawed humanity, is a potent reminder of the lives, friendships and idealism lost under totalitarian rule. (Verlagstext)
