Jiří Suchý – theatre personality, musician, poet, writer, graphic artist, collector, and self-professed clown who is eternally young in spirit – has been one of the key figures of the domestic cultural scene over the last six decades. He has put on 97 plays at the Semafor theatre and has written the lyrics for 1,400 songs and the music for 500. Today, in an era beset by an onslaught of images that are often of questionable worth, this legendary figure’s tireless efforts to enrich the Czech language and its poetic nuances have been of inestimable value. Olga Sommerová lays before us Suchý’s prolific creative and civic journey through life with her customary subtle distinctiveness, demonstrating her singular flair for capturing exceptional moments.

Jiří Suchý will soon celebrate his 90th birthday. I don’t see a strong reason for this new documentary. Once again, Sommerová just edited many times notorious clips that have been edited before, and had a few new commentaries play over them, of course from people who have been telling the same information all their lives. Perhaps if Sommerová had addressed the last 20 years more, she could have brought us something new. But she just trivialized the already trivialized.

I feel like I spent an evening in the company of Jiri Suchý, who looked back on his life with a twinkle in his eye, wit on his tongue, and a wise peace of mind, telling me everything I've read or heard about in person, and I listened to him without moving, interrupted only and at the most by laughter. It's a quite wonderful feeling.

Este retrato recompensador dedicado à obra de Jiří Suchý consiste principalmente das suas narrativas e lembranças e numerosos exemplos da sua obra, desde peças mais antigas que compôs em conjunto com Jiří Šlitr até obras mais recentes. À recapitulação repleta de informação dos mais de 60 anos de carreira musical, cantora e compositora de Suchý não falta um contexto contemporâneo apropriado, uma grande quantidade de gravações de arquivo e material recentemente gravado, no qual Jiří Suchý, apesar da sua idade, parece ser uma pessoa enérgica em constante brincadeira e ainda extraordinariamente criativa e trabalhadora, com um bom humor e uma mente clara, o que só reforça a nossa admiração por ele. O filme omite deliberadamente factos muito básicos, por isso o público ideal são aqueles que já conhecem Jiří Suchý e pelo menos algumas das suas canções, gostam dele e querem saber mais sobre ele.
