I Served the King of England mirrors old and new

544screen This week’s offering in the Arts and Education Council’s Independent Film Series is a new Czech film by famed director Jirí Menzel, I Served the King of England. Known best for his masterful 1966 adaptation of Bohumil Hrabal’s novel Closely Watched Trains (available on DVD from The Criterion Collection), Menzel again refers to the Czech author’s work as inspiration for this historically panoramic fable.

I Served the King of England is the story of Jan Díte, a Czech native whom we meet as he’s being released from the Prague Correctional Facility. After 15 years of imprisonment, Díte is on parole to go work in the mountains. Thus, the film is told in flashback; think Forest Gump, but in Czech. Through his narration, we quickly learn that Díte has had one dream all his life: to be a famous millionaire.
