Pierwsza część cyklu o przygodach najsłynniejszego ordynansa cesarstwa austro-węgierskiego, Szwejka. Akcja rozgrywa się między zamachem w Sarajewie a wybuchem I wojny światowej, kiedy to Szwejk musi opuścić ukochaną Pragę i dołączyć do swojego oddziału. Wojna zaczyna się dla niego od szpitala polowego dla symulantów. Szwejk zapoznaje się tu ze słynną metodą doktora Grünsteina: dietą, płukaniem żołądka, lewatywą i lizaniem chininy. Zasadniczą odmianę w życiu Szwejka przynosi spotkanie z feldkuratem Katzem. (TVP)

Švejk, played by Rudolf Hrušínský, is an adorable Czech schnitzel with rather poor mental potential at first glance, but unlike Hašek’s Švejk, he lacks that subtlety in inconspicuously mocking the authorities and undermining the seriousness of the war. Steklý simply presents Švejk as a great humanist and a man of the people, but in my opinion the book Švejk is basically elusive in physical form. What we see on the screen is not Hašek’s Švejk, but Lada's Švejk. Hašek’s Švejk is unique in that it is not the story of one person, but of the whole war in all its bizarreness and absurdity. That's where the film fails. Enough chatter. From a comedy point of view, this film has everything important – great acting performances (Kopecký and especially Marvan!), good dialogues and the appropriate momentum. I don't think it could have been acted any better, but I always prefer to reach for Hašek's book, which is just one dimension richer...

Regardless of the source material, and I admit I haven't read it yet, the film The Good Soldier Schweik presents great characters, a superb plot, intriguing twists, and humor that not even ten contemporary comedies combined could match. And isn't it that the film isn't just about a joke every second, but that each joke is well-crafted and lands perfectly? Moreover, you recognize the beginnings of many legendary Czech actors here, seeing them in their truly young years. This is simply a golden treasure of Czech cinema that I've successfully avoided for a long time.
