A Jester's Tale

Bláznova kronika / Karel Zeman / CSR 1964 / 82 min. / HD file
A Jester’s Tale is one of Zeman’s less famous films. Although achieving considerable international success, it has not made as strong a mark as Baron Münchhausen or The Deadly Invention. This was perhaps, among other things, due to a clash of concepts, two very different authorial worlds, during the preparation.
