Living Targets

I expected at least a slight improvement in quality after Monsters of the Shore, but the creators preferred to return to the roots, and my rating corresponds to that. Regarding the acting performances, let me compare them to a cycling race: Viktor Preiss was miles ahead of everyone, Klára Melíšková was desperately trying to catch up with him, while a peloton of the rest of the actors was hopelessly trying to catch up with her. The story was painfully unoriginal, the creators decided to return to the poor quality of the beginning of the series and I can’t say I’m happy about that. (10/09/2019)

Respect! Director Hřebejk managed to create from the entire cycle Urobora a final piece that returned the "quality" exactly to the point where it began with Případ pro exorcistu. Stupid dialogues, solutions popping out of dark corners, a return to obviously obsolete, and therefore unnecessary characters - well, whoever needs advice, their ear will fall off. But at least Jan Hřebejk fulfilled his lifelong dream, because while shooting the final Croatian scene, he must have felt like a James Bond director, only a fluffy white cat was missing. (10/09/2019)
