Got a problem with it?

It’s because it’s art born from struggle and genuine suffering, the Soviet occupation was fucking devastating, there was an instance of the USSR making the Czech crown worth only half its value over night, just fucking because they could. The subversion and having to go undetected by the censors at the time make this movement more kino tan the bullshit decadence of the French new wave. It’s literally that soul vs soulless meme and the huge worldwide recognition of FNW vs CNW is boomer ignorance and stupidity which is why you’re seeing the younger generation of cinephiles who really only come to tv and letterboxd and discuss CNW.

Yet the FNW produced many more kino films. As already discussed, half of the best Czechoslovak directors weren't even associated with the CNW

I just expected something different I guess. Lay off the popcorn bro...

Kino by whose standards though? FNW films don’t hold up I’m sorry but the praise they got back in the day was purely technical, technical films rarely stand the test of time, Breathless is a goddamn proton YouTube vlog, CNW is fucking history.

It's okay imo. Hopefully a torrent will come out soon.
>FNW
Not really. Godard and Truffaut are massively overpraised. Rivette, Resnais and Rohmer are kino though.
>half of the best Czechoslovak directors weren't even associated with the CNW
That's not entirely true. They are not CNW but they are associated with CNW by mistake. Anyways, if we count those directors than the amount of kino produced in Czechoslovakia is immense.
