Death of the Beautiful Deer - Blu-ray

Karel Kachyňa’s moving adaptation of Ota Pavel’s autobiographical short stories arrives on Blu-ray for the first time!

Set before and during World War II, the story follows a Jewish family through the eyes of a young boy. Ota Pavel recalls his eccentric but loving father, Leo Popper (Karel Heřmánek), a passionate salesman and fisherman, and his kind uncle Prošek (Rudolf Hrušínský), who often took him fishing.

One of the most heartfelt Czech films of the 1980s – a poetic reflection on family, memory, and the quiet beauty of everyday life.
