Miloš Zeman: One Politician's Obituary and Celebration of Vysočina (2007)

Young but already experienced filmmaker Robert Sedláček (author of the documentary trilogy about modern Czech history Tenkrát or the feature debut Pravidla lži), meets in the film the retired prime minister Miloš Zeman, who, with his own ambivalent attitude, sees this film as his "obituary". In the documentary, he talks about the personal and socio-political contexts of his life and confesses in it his admiring relationship with Vysočina, which is for him an "anchor in his soul". The viewer learns what the former prime minister thinks about and how he reflects on the recent past, and in this way he can actually learn something about himself, because Miloš Zeman is one of the most powerful men in our modern history and therefore also, in a certain sense, the embodiment of Czech society.
