English "Farewell, fields of crackling cobs, farewell, poppies and cornflowers along the dirt roads..." Personally, I think that cracking cobs, poppies and cornflowers have a lot in common, in a certain sense maybe more than the Powder Gate with the Charles Bridge and half of the Vltava together, but that does not belong here. Leaving aside the concentrated (and quite understandable) pathos, Kamenná sláva is first and foremost a quite interesting look at the eighty-year distant past, combining the everyday life of Prague's citizens with the extraordinary history of their city. I probably won't remember any interesting shots from it in my head, but what can I do? ()
