Closely Watched Trains is a Czech film that won the Oscar for best foreign film in 1967. Director Jirí Menzel unfolds an antiwar comedy set during the German occupation of Czechoslovakia about the story of young boy named Milos who has a job at a small Czech train station and falls in love with the beautiful Masa.
This mosaic-like parable is set in undefined space and time, still its crazy world without ideals filled with violence, cynicism and hopelessness clearly resembles the social atmosphere in Czechoslovakia after August 1968. Three strange loners survive only thanks to their \foolishness\ - a life based on play and philosophy of joy. But the tragic ending of their coexistence is an inevitable outcome of reality that only offers two possibilities: insanity or death.
Oldrich \Fajolo\ Fajták (Marián Bielik), a student who directs quasi-existentialist verbal abuse at his girlfriend Bela Blazejová (Jana Beláková), takes off to a formally volunteer summer work camp at a farm where he meets her grandfather.
The title \All My Good Countrymen\ is not without irony as this epic tale of Czech village life from shortly after the end of the Second World War concentrates on the activities of a group of friends who are not beyond reproach in siding with a politically corrupt regime for material advancement. Are these the \good countrymen\ of the title or does it refer to the rest of the village who scorn these petty authority figure with silent contempt?
