Overrated

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

A young woman, who is an English teacher at a summer college, is on the verge of marrying a rich older man who is not really suited to being a family man. Her young son, David, is the only one who realises this. When he happens upon a young man at the college, one of her students, who is perfect for both of them, he does his best to push them together. This film is beautifully written, stunningly photographed (and typically Czechoslovakian in style.), and marvellously acted, with the late great Tomas Holy as David.
