Remembering the great Czech Filmmaker, Jiří Menzel, on his 88th birthday! Jiří Menzel on Censorship & why Creation always needs limitations: "Interviewer: You’ve said in an interview that there is always some form of censorship that cinema has to face. Still, it seems that in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s, the apparatus gave artists a different sort of “impulse” than the state or system do today… Menzel: There were great films made under censorship, even in the United States, for instance when they were not allowed to show kissing. Freedom has this unlucky side effect that by making everything possible, you lack purpose and a direction. Creation always needs limits. If you’re writing a book, you’re composing a song, or directing a film, you have to make it. Creation comes out of conflict. If you don’t have borders, you babble nonsense. Of course, there are different sorts of constraints: even money is one. Every director working with any budget needs to adjust his vision to his budget. Or you have a vision that can’t be visualised the way you imagined. It’s all about conflict. Finally, there’s ideology, which goes through history like a red thread. There were taboos, rules passed on by church. Now that people are free, this freedom is problematic. It’s like when a young boy who wasn’t allowed to smoke and play cards leaves home: he will think that freedom lies in smoking and playing cards. That’s wrong. Until you grow up, your parents shouldn’t allow you to smoke or play cards. Interviewer: You can artificially set rules and constraints, like the dogma movement. Menzel: Yes, but that’s formal. It’s a limit that provokes and inspires, because you have to find ways to overcome it, but it’s about the language, not the content. The main thing is to think about what effect you are going to have on the viewer. Many dogmatic films are quite depressing." (Jiří Menzel's interview with Konstanty Kuzma, Eastern European Film Bulletin, 2013) Clip from: Closely Watched Trains (1966) Director: Jiří Menzel
