| The Young Wave - Jires |
| (By Mira & Antonin J. Liehm - 1977) |
| ||||||
| In 1963, Jaromil Jires completed his first feature film, "The First Cry" ("Krik"), which, along with the films of Chytilova and Uher, definitively confirmed that something new was happening in Czech film-making. The young parents-to-be in the film walked onto the screen directly from the street, from the midst of an anonymous crowd that came to life before Kucera's camera, while the anti-hero of the film, dressed in the overalls of a TV repairman, entered the apartments of members of the socialist-realist establishment; his honesty and simplicity functioned as a kind of 'truth mirror' making apparent their 'new' values and attitudes. Although Jires made a successful debut in the early sixties, the demands that he made of himself and his uncompromising examination of the present and of future possibilities created difficulties that kept him from realizing any more of his scripts until 1968. During the five-year interim, he made only a few exceptional short films, but his personality remained an integral part of everything that happened in those years in Czechoslovak film.
