set in the late 1940s, the film concerns the treatment of suspect
bourgeois elements
, a professor, a saxophonist, and a milkman, who are put to work in a junkyard for rehabilitation .
an experimental retelling of the story of adam and eve which then progresses into an allegorical depiction of loss of innocence .
a bachelor named faun with a don juan complex, seized with a hypochondriac' s fear of the ineluctable approach of death, enters a race against time' s passage. faun' s sexual love is imbued with the narcissistic vanity of a self - satisfied bacchant who even towards old age can' t manage to forgo his lifelong pose as an irresistable seducer of women. he desperately searches for meaning in superficial, fleeting sex .
vera chytilova is a longtime favorite of pfa audiences; her features daisies (1965) and the apple game (1977) beautifully weave universal feminist concerns into exuberant and idiosyncratic storytelling. in the very late afternoon of a faun she teams again with scriptwriter ester krumbachova (daisies) to give the old don juan legend a modern, comic twist. the “faun” in question is an aging lothario who uses the sidewalks, cafes and offices of his otherwise boring existence as hunting grounds for the opposite sex, of whom any and all are fair game. new specimens are rare at his nine - to - five job, however, so he affixes his affections there on a middle - aged co - worker who, being of similar mind, is on to his tricks and has a few of her own. the great enjoyment of the film, apart from leos sucharipa' s energetic rendition of the prancing satyr, is in chytilova' s flair for ironic juxtaposition and telling detail .
a group of teenagers are mysteriously invited to a skiing workshop in the mountains. there are eleven of them, but the camp supervisors insist that there should be only ten, and that one of them is an intruder .
jermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .
faun (leos sucharipa) is a lifelong bachelor with an insatiable lust for younger women that seems to occupy his thoughts at all times. when at work or roaming about in public, his primary goal is to meet and seduce a new beauty. though his failures might outnumber his successes, he has always taken pleasure in the pursuit of sex with a stranger. but as the aging swinger contemplates death for the first time, he considers the prospect of engaging in a more meaningful romance .

this more or less boils down to a meandering metaphor in which commitment is equal to death, but not in a negative way. it suggests that the faun' s lifestyle is empty, that it brings nothing of value. his death emphasizes his pointless sexual exploits and the unpleasantness of his life, and that the death - figure is the same woman who has been calling him out all film for failing at meaningful work fits neatly. this is a condemnation not merely of a promiscuous (male) life, but of a life in which that is the defining quality. it suggests that he wastes his privilege, and that his quest for immortality is as futile as his quest for rejuvenation .

protest - song
against the panic fear of getting old and also against flirtation. the main character (played by leos sucharípa) is an elderly man, admittedly competent, but not very responsible. in the continuous fear, he is trying to do as much as he can but, instead of confidence, he only finds out that in the real life one cannot just take but must give as well. last but not least, one must be able to resign to his age .

i' m not sure what this movie is about, or if it is any good. it covers a period of time in the life of an older man, who works in an office in prague and has an interest in young ladies. he has a flamboyant personalty, as revealed through his various exclamations and comments to himself, though it' s unclear if he is a fool or a gentleman. seems the intention of the movie is some sort of existential absurdism, and it' s rather fragmentary with bizarre camera - work at times. though by all rights it should be an obnoxious experience, the film seems to have a sincere playfulness about it instead of being pretentious or cynical. sucharípa' s sympathetic performance enhances the obscure plot, though whether the movie is enjoyable probably depends on the viewer' s mood .

another gem of chytilova' s oft - overlooked 80s. nice thematic - stylistic merging in deciding to shoot the entire thing as a series of magic hours and deep - angled sunset lighting. no one escapes time and death .

well, at least my chytilova cycle ends on a slightly above the middle. we here follow karel faun, a man in his fifties whose main interest in life is to bed young women. for reasons not quite clear he is apparently irresistible to just about everyone. so far so boring, little touches making this slightly more interesting than it sounds are that he now seems to be doing so out of habit, but is more and more uninterested, his life seeming utterly joyless; and far more importantly, while nowhere near daisies or fruit of the paradise we now once again have a movie that is fun to look at, the many cuts to autumnal foliage might be making their point…

chytilová adapted jiří brdečka’s story about a middle - aged lecherous man and ‘determined erotic’, and in doing so focused on the gap between sexual fantasy and reality. as pensioners claim the man as their own, the young ladies he picks up increasingly differ from his hopes and expectations. it was chytilová’s only post - invasion collaboration with writer - designer ester krumbachová, who worked with her on daisies and the fruit of paradise .
