Intimate Lighting
Directed by Ivan Passer
Produced by Filmové studio Barrandov
A tender, gently comic portrait of two old friends navigating reunion, class difference, and unspoken desire in a small-town setting.
Two classically trained musicians and childhood friends - one a successful cellist in Prague, the other a violinist who makes his money playing provincial funerals - reconvene on the eve of a small-town symphony concert.
