HRABAL PUBlished - shortfilm competition not only for beer drinkers
Hrabal PUBlished
„Vladimír a Bondy a já jsme měli tak rádi pivo, že jak přinesli první sklenici na stůl, zděsili jsme všichni celou hospodu, nabírali jsme pěnu rukama, pomazávali si obličeje a vtírali pěnu do vlasů jako židé mazající si pejzy cukrovou vodou, při druhém pivě jsme si dali repete pomazání pěnou, takže jsme se leskli a voněli pivem na sto honů. Hlavně ale – byla to recese – byla to exprese nadšení pro pivo a nadšení mládím, které z nás hýřilo. Byli jsme pivní frajeři...”
"Vladimír and Bondy and I liked beer so much, that, as soon as they brought the first glasses to the table, the three of us freaked out the entire pub, we scooped up the foam with our bare hands, smeared it on our faces and into our hair like Jews gelling their peyos with sugar water, with the same beer we offered a repeat performace of our beer foam anointment, so that we glistened and smelled of beer at a hundered paces. Most importantly though - it was a prank, of course- it was an expression of our enthusiasm for beer and our youthful zeal, which we were giving off. We were strapping young beer lads..."
(The scene "kurva fixx" was taken from Bohumil Hrabal's novel, the Fond Barbarians, which of course also can be seen in the movie based on the book. Něžný barbar, 1989, 88 mins, Directed by Petr Koliha)
