About This Movie

Silvestr 79 aneb Hrajeme si jako děti is this quirky New Year's Eve variety show that captures the spirit of late 70s television in Czechoslovakia. It’s a playful blend of music and comedy, driven by a lighthearted atmosphere and a unique charm that feels almost nostalgic. The pacing ebbs and flows with the performances, creating a delightful back-and-forth between acts that keeps you engaged. There’s a certain innocence in the way the show embraces childlike playfulness, with practical effects that are surprisingly effective considering the era. It’s distinct, perhaps for its unrefined yet endearing approach to entertainment, a snapshot of a cultural moment that resonates with the right audience.

This film has had limited releases, primarily on TV and some obscure formats, making it quite rare amongst collectors today. It’s not often discussed, which adds to its allure for those looking to explore lesser-known gems from Czechoslovakia. The scarcity of high-quality prints and the lack of significant restoration efforts mean that finding a decent copy can be a bit of a treasure hunt, heightening interest among enthusiasts who appreciate the quirks of vintage television.
