About the Film: WALTZING MATILDA | Tancuj Matyldo
Directed by Petr Slavic, 2023, 113 min., Czech with English subtitles
In this real-life-inspired story, uptight Karel (Karel Roden) lives by strict rules with zero empathy. He begrudgingly takes in his free-spirited mom, Matilda (Regina Rázlová), a former singer who’s lost her apartment and is now battling Alzheimer’s. Their clash of personalities creates chaos, especially when Karel’s irresponsible son Pavel (Antonio Šoposki), who hates his dad’s job as an court executor, becomes the best bet for helping out. Amid humorous and tragic moments, their struggles foster a deeper family connection.
