Havel (Czech Republic)
The artistic and political lives of Vaclav Havel, leader of the Velvet Revolution, are skillfully interwoven in this elegant biopic by Czech director Slávek Horák. Spanning three decades, beginning with the 1968 Prague Spring, the viewer sees how Havel is transformed by politics, yet never loses the playwrights’ perspective as he melds political action and police repression into dramaturgy and then back to politics.
