Vladimir 518, uncompromising rapper, artist, stage designer and activist, is a rare phenomenon, who not only writes books, but publishes them as well. Today also a respected authority primarily on pre-1989 architecture, he has written not only a major publication on the subject, but also the story for two audiovisual works treating the same theme, which were shot by Jan Zajíček, renowned director of music videos. In addition to the recent TV series we have the eagerly anticipated feature-length film which, through its fascinating and impressive exploration of Czech and Slovak architecture of the latter half of the 20th century, offers exclusive insight into extraordinary buildings and unique individuals living below the Tatra Mountains.

Reviews
Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
