This allegorical tale of Czechoslovakia, post Prague Spring and following Warsaw Pact invasion, is all colors, beautiful decay, New Wave, Falstaff, concentration camp references, bizarre love triangle a la Jules et Jim, gaggle of children and...birds. There is definitely method in all the chaos. Birds, Ophans and Fools is a maddeningly intoxicating cinematic experience. #JurajJakubisko #czechoslovakia #praguespring #warsawpact
