A con man and a young woman travel across the country, first in search of a man he knows, and then in search of a woman she knows.
His Bottom Line / 2021
For the first time in 57 years, Ah Guan walks the streets with his simple signboard for all to see: ‘HONEST MAN NEED (sic) A WIFE.’ His only requirement? ‘A pretty back.’ A morally complex inquest that dismantles the voyeuristic sensibilities enabled by documentaries, 蒙在股里 (HIS BOTTOM LINE) explores the motivations behind Ah Guan’s strangely specific condition for love and antidote to his loneliness.
Obscurantist and His Lineage or The Pyramids' Tearful Valley / 2011
Karel Vachek’s latest documentary essay deals with the fine line between an internal belief in God and institutionalized religion. At the same time it brings up the need for a healthy sense of skepticism and the benefit of not believing in anything that advertises itself as certain. The filmmaker sets out for the USA, Japan, Great Britain, Poland, and the Balkans in his sometimes amusing investigation of spiritual substitutes, such as esoteric "teachings” or various fraudulent and magical practices, to which we sometimes fall prey due to our natural religious cravings. In addition to a Czech "prefab” family, who describe the carryings-on of their poltergeist, well-known mystery buffs appear in the film: Erich von Däniken, Raymond Moody Jr., and Ivan Mackerl.
