Jiří Menzel directed six films based on literary works by Bohumil Hrabal.
The penultimate of these was the 1983 film A Feast of Snowdrops.
Hrabal’s eponymous book, which is a colorful collage of portraits of the
inhabitants of a cottage settlement in the Central Bohemian village of Kersko.
The film is set in the local restaurant, where seasonal holidaymakers and
old-timers from Kersko gather day after day. The peaceful life of the village is
disrupted by a grotesque boar hunt and the ensuing dispute between two groups of
gamekeepers over who should get the trophy.
Digitally restored version of the film.
