Jiří Menzel's grotesque tragicomedy based on the novel by Vladimír Vojnović. Our buffoon of a hero, Ivan, watches 1941 slip by in a remote Russian village named Rudá (read Red). The absurdity of Russian Bolshevism is revealed through comic episodes tinged with bitter undertones. (official distributor synopsis)
