Houba
Mushroom
For instance: the mushroom. When devoloping his filmic theories on modern
society Vít Janecek starts right there from the ground, pondering over a very real object. What does a mushrooms way of existing,
its position within the natural order of things tell us about life? In his one-hour-documentary he also talks to microbiologists,
mycologists, botanists or the manager of a hypermarket and sometimes gets some inspiration from the „old master“ Karel Vachek.
