5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best films I've had the pleasure to watch., 19 Sep 2001
By Gordon M Burns (gordon.burns@virgin.net) (North Lincolnshire, England.) - See all my reviews
From the point of view of a western European with just a smattering of knowledge about Czech Republic, I found the film a magnificent exploration into the relationship between a man and the step-son he didn't expect to inherit.

The scenes set during the Russian occupation of Czechoslovakia reminded me how this small country was treated at the hands of 'Big Brother', and the scenes of the revolution (which contains actual historical footage) are treated both with reverence and a touch of humour.

Kolja is a truly wonderful and wondrously poignant though extremely humourous film, which has the ability to make me laugh and to make me cry. Kolja is a MUST SEE.

Vyborne pane Jan Sverák, vyborne pane Zdenek Sverák, a vyborne Andrei Chalimon... Dekuji patri vam.

Gordon M Burns
