Svět podle Daliborka

Não é um documentário que comentasse a comunidade neonazi em geral através do personagem de Dalibor, porque Dalibor é demasiado único para isso, pelo que é bastante provável que nem os neonazis, nem ninguém mais se identifique com ele e as suas opiniões. É fácil rir de Dalibor e das suas ações, mas também há uma boa dose de compaixão e talvez pena nesse riso, e também é impossível apontar-lhe um dedo e identificá-lo como um porco xenófobo nazi que merece ser chutado. De facto, para além dos slogans odiosos e racistas de Dalibor e da sua louca produção de vídeos, o filme revela muita informação da sua vida privada que aponta para o que este filme realmente trata em grande medida - pessoas com complexos e infelizes internamente que não estão felizes com as suas vidas, os seus empregos e as suas origens, mas que querem desesperadamente pertencer a algum lugar, e por isso não têm medo de recorrer a grupos com visões mais extremas. Opiniões que normalmente obtêm dos meios de comunicação on-line «alternativos» e de outros indivíduos de mentalidade semelhante, existencialmente dependentes da televisão e das redes sociais como a única forma de entretenimento disponível. E há provavelmente muitas dessas pessoas nas sociedades checa e eslovaca, exceto que Dalibor se destaca tanto entre elas que faz com que ver o filme não só seja uma introspeção extraordinária sobre um determinado sector da sociedade, mas, ao mesmo tempo, é, às vezes, absolutamente engraçado. Cada cena é uma pérola, mas também provoca arrepios. (03/07/2017)

Filme de terror social? Ficção científica perversa? Não, a realidade. De Prostějov. Duro para a mente e quase para o estômago. (03/07/2017)

Vít Klusák made his method something I would call a "lazy and cowardly docu-arrangement". Choose an antisocial whose manifestations are on the verge of mild mental retardation, let him replay (I can't shake the impression that Daliborek is playing himself poorly) episodes that feel like Extreme Family type exploitations (but without admitted ridicule through voice over), create a panopticon saying nothing, etc. I just don't think it's anything bold, revealing and provocative. As a result, The White World According to Daliborek reveals nothing but an annoying exhibition of a bald mama's boy. I would probably forget about it. I've wasted my time with worse bullshit. But the arranged Auschwitz ZOO with the director's moral stepping out in front of the camera... that’s an insurmountable mistake to me. Klusák directs the weak-hearted idiot for an hour and a half, so that in the end he can give him a moral slap and thus cancel the last hint that this documentary has some concept and observational value. It doesn't. It is a weak conglomeration of meaningless nonsense and excesses that does not function either as a character study or as a documentary about the radical thinking of ordinary people. That the audience laughs amusedly and arrogantly speaks much more about the level of society-wide debate than about the qualities of the documentary. For the first time ever, I am reporting Klusák's fail. And it really is colossal. (03/07/2017)

It is completely unnecessary to devote a full-length documentary to this topic. The theme in the form this simple simpleton from Prostějov culminates in the simple message that the one who spews hateful nonsense is in fact the harmless immature son of a naive mother. Once again, Klusák works only with empty phrases and (unintentional?) grotesqueness. Why confront a so-called neo-Nazi with the facts and pay any attention to him? This kind of person is indeed an annoying insect, but in fact only harms itself. His life is going nowhere, but he also doesn't vote, doesn't participate in demonstrations, and simply survives on his delusions and mistakes. We have more interesting and serious phenomena in society than this. The first ladies of our documentary filmmaking are able to create stories and statements in their films that have value. If Klusák shares this ambition, he hasn't been working on it for at least the last decade. Unfortunate. (06/10/2017)

52nd KVIFF – I am not sure if Vít Klusák made this documentary so that he could poke fun at Daliborek or, as he claimed, so that he could confront him with reality. Daliborek actually isn’t bad, he only deduced a couple of his own truths and didn’t manage to realize that those truths of his could be, in reality, diametrically different. And thus, it’s hard to convince a person who thinks they found the greatest truth of all even though they are completely spinning the facts that are commonplace nowadays. The trip to Auschwitz and the confrontation with the lady who survived Auschwitz, are, by the way, the director’s masterpieces. However, I return to Mr. Klusák and my final impression, of which I am not sure if it is good or bad. The fact that this documentary looks more like a movie convinces me of the negative. I have a feeling that, if not everything, then at least most of it is only acted out for the sake of the cameras. And it fascinates me that apart from Daliborek, the whole family took part in this game. On the other hand, I laughed and also got horrified. I laughed because Daliborek had, at times, genius catchphrases, and got horrified at how dumb some people around us can be. However, it isn’t only Daliborek, there are loads of people like him around us. It isn’t only about stubbornness but also about the narrow-mindedness of each of us that needs to be suppressed. Nevertheless, the documentary fascinated me and became the highlight of the whole festival. Maybe it will make Dalibor and the people around him think if nothing else. (04/07/2017)
