Cast

The first Švankmajer film to tackle a contemporary theme, one much in the news at the time it was made: that of the violence underlying socalled “sporting” events, and its passive acceptance by an ever-increasing number of couch potatoes who spend much of their time too sozzled in beer to react with anything other than mute acceptance.
