Jiri Menzel on artistic freedom and financial restraints

In an interview with Gyula Varsányi, Czech theatre and film director Jiri Menzel talks about the problems with making films during the communist era and those of today. "The powerful wave of energy that the Czech Nouvelle Vague unleashed was suppressed by Russian tanks in 1968. But I'm not sure we wouldn't have run out of energy anyway, even if the tanks hadn't come. We tried to free ourselves from the straitjacket, but there were also writers, actors and film makers among us who came to terms with making a career under the regime. The Barrandov film studios - not Brezhnev, Husak or Bilak - had such a group of people under its control. As far as the present is concerned, I agree with [director] Věra Chytilová who said you could play clever games with the Bolsheviks if you knew how to outsmart them. You can't do anything about today's financing problems. This is a much tougher regime than back then."
