Petr Zelenka demuestra una vez más que es uno de los directores y guionistas checos más originales (posiblemente el más original) y mejores. Me divertí mucho con las relaciones checo-francesas, con lo que pensamos de los franceses y lo que ellos piensan de nosotros. Con toda justicia, una de las tres mejores películas checas del año 2015 y sin duda el mejor guion del año, lo que lo hace merecedor del León Checo en esta categoría. Lamentablemente, en las demás categorías había representantes más fuertes, como "Domácí péče" y "Kober a užovek".

En la primera media hora, Zelenka inicia una comedia amarga no muy exitosa sobre la burbuja mediática en torno al loro parlante, sólo para dársela al público de que el fracaso fue completamente intencionado todo el tiempo, y por una buena razón. Lost in Munich es una parábola bien equilibrada (muy divertida y al mismo tiempo triste y dolorosamente cierta) sobre la producción cinematográfica entre bastidores, la nación checa y el hecho de que las apariencias a veces engañan, por supuesto con una cierta dosis de exageración. Un proyecto dirigido con confianza, bien pensado y consciente, con actores naturales, una adaptación ambiciosa e inteligente del Pacto de Múnich y una historia funcional llena de giros sorprendentes, contada de una forma bastante inusual pero atractiva para los estándares checos.

I feel sorry that I missed this movie when it was screening in cinemas. In Mladá Boleslav it was in cinemas maybe even less than one week and then they changed it either for some cartoon cash cow or another one of the endless line of American superhero movies… But a good Czech movie is hard to find in cinemas. And Lost in Munich is exactly that. Petr Zelenka took advantage of the audience and really toys with them from the start to the finish. What you watch as a film for an hour changed into a film about a film in the next hour. Plus you are following the connections and it all starts to make sense only toward the ending. And it is really funny and entertaining. And the cast is amazing as well – Martin Myšička, Tomáš Bambušek or Jana Plodková. And the fundamental premise of Munich and the brave proposition that the Munich Agreement actually helped us is all that is needed to make even a viewer with the knowledge of history excited. The absolute uniqueness of it all is not worth five stars but still it is one of the most interesting Czech films.

A film about why something doesn't work, which thematizes that we actually do our best work when we pretend that we are not good at it, and during this it is so perfectly buck-passing and artificial that it resembles a parrot who just repeats what others tell him. A potentially interesting concept walled up by inconsistency. While the Year of the Devil was quite an interesting "mocumentary", the second half of Lost in Munich feels like a very lame defense of why the former doesn't make sense. And since Zelenka alternates between documentary shots with purely film footage and continuously flat music, the result of the defense is as sparse as the acted part. Meta-weaklings from the nineties. A mental ghetto of an eternal revision of a national stereotype that affirms itself with love and that is why it survives, even if someone seems to parody it. Long overdue and still boring as fuck. Let’s turn the page.

I have a mix of emotions regarding Petr Zelenka's distinctive films. Some of them have impressed me, while others have left me with an average impression. However, I have no problem admitting that Zelenka is one of the most interesting filmmakers that the lackluster Czech film scene currently possesses. I have never associated his name with any significant disappointment. Actually, I cannot speak of disappointment even now. Based on paradoxically enthusiastic responses, I didn't believe in the film, and my instinct did not let me down. Zelenka served me two films in one, but I don't get either of them and I conclude that they don't harmonize together at all. Although the author is inspired by the ideas of historian Jan Tesař, he interprets them in his own way. This time, Zelenka's mystification didn't entertain me; I felt a similar self-centeredness in it as I have perceived in the surrealistic performances of a certain Prague theater in the last two decades. Those people are also content with entertaining themselves and their fan club. Overall impression: 35%.
