The story is as basic as a peasant meal -- and just as hearty.
Sometimes transcends its predictability. But at two and a half hours, 'sometimes' isn't really often enough.
Humble, heartwarming storytelling with good acting and lush visuals.
See it as a war romance, and you'll like it.
Trojan's direction is capable, and Asen Sopov's dark-hued cinematography is even better than that. The only thing missing is an appreciation for drama that does more than deliver the expected.
[Resembles] something like Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.
...may seem long and solemn to those used to the pacy rhythms of Hollywood films, but the sense of ennui it occasionally evokes strengthens its grip
Here's a film that manages to tell its tale without pandering, without cheap melodrama, without gimmicks and without big-name stars. Instead, it simply develops its characters and lets the drama unfold naturally.
When it should be building toward something stirring, Zelary instead meanders like the sheep grazing on the nearby hillsides.
[E]schews... sentimentality, but we've seen this story too many times before...
Offers a wide span of emotions and experiences.
A detailed tale well told.
From the Czech Republic came Zelary a masterful war drama showing heart-breaking scenes, no wonder it was nominated for best Foreign Language movie in 2004.The story was about a young medical student Eliska, who was a member of the Czech resistance during WWII. When the Gestapo captured one of her friends, she must hide and went with Joza to the mountains, a man she saved his life by giving him a blood transfusion. As part of her new identity, she must marry Joza, to be accepted in the village.The story showed her adaptation in this beautiful mountain village, and her growing attachment and love she felt for Joza..Zelary showed beautiful cinematography, marvelous music and excellent directing and great acting of Czech actors.
