synopsis
Accompanied by thumping sounds and cacophonous music, the film, which is set in a Prague shrouded in smoke and mist, captures the artist and poet in his studio, in a gallery viewing abstract paintings, and at the famous round table in the Slavia café. Kolář talks about writing and “object poetry”, represented here by a ladle covered in stickers, while his other work involves creating a collage of a face from cut-up photographs. Luděk Munzar recites one of his poems. The film is a documentary exercise by second-year students at the Department of Film Directing.
