    • Quotes
      [on his influences]: "I really love old Czech films and old Czech comedies in particular. For example, Oldřich Lipský is my biggest role model. Adela Has Not Had Supper Yet (1978) or The Mysterious Castle in the Carpathians (1981) are such perfect films that I don't understand how he managed to make it and how it's so nice."
