#75.I Served the King of England
Director/Writer: Jirí Menzel
Producers: Rudolf Biermann
Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics
The Gist: Based on a picaresque novel by Czech novelist Bohumil Hrabal, the burlesque rise and fall of an apprentice waiter in Prague during the first half of the last century.
Fact: Menzel’s best film ever: Closely Watched Trains was also based on a novel by Hrabal.

Winner of the FIPRESCI Prize at the past Berlin film festival, this should tickle the funny bone.
