Sorry...

About This Movie

So, 'Sorry...' is a fascinating piece from 1978, where Vaclav Havel presents two intriguing TV plays: 'Audience' and 'Private View'. There's this raw, almost gritty atmosphere that comes through, typical of the time, and the pacing is quite deliberate—just allows you to really sit with the characters. The themes revolve around the absurdity of life and the complex relationships that unfold in mundane settings. Not to mention the performances; they carry a weight that feels both personal and political, making it a distinctive watch. It's interesting how Havel's work captures a certain bleak humor, making you think while also reflecting on the human condition.

'Sorry...' is relatively scarce on physical formats, often found only on limited releases or as part of anthology collections. The significance of Havel's works in the context of Eastern European cinema makes this a subject of particular interest for collectors. Because it’s a TV movie, it doesn’t get as much exposure as feature films, so it can be a bit of a hidden gem among enthusiasts. If you come across it, you'll appreciate the sense of history and artistry it holds.
