It is still a silent film, which definitely is not for everyone. On the other hand, Švejk is simply excellent here. Unfortunately, some parts, especially the middle one, are quite dull, which significantly reduces the overall impression of the film. However, for today's viewer, this compilation of three original short films is probably better if they decide to watch a silent film.

A silent film based on a script so wordy that it couldn't possibly fit a single bare sentence? It worked because Karel Noll is a great Švejk, the screenwriters chose well from Hašek's draft and Martin Frič managed to skillfully edit the existing films into one that has a beginning, middle and end - in short, it works together. Among the other actors and actresses I really liked Antonie Nedošínská as Mrs. Müller and also Karel Lamač as Lieutenant Lukáš (and the innkeeper Palivec). It is a pity that no one dared to compose a more attractive musical accompaniment. Why does the conservative piano still win for silent films when it can be done differently? Check out The Lovers of an Old Criminal with excellent music by Nekonečno, and then it's immediately something else.
