A psychological crime drama based on actual events of the not-too-distant past. A group of university students thought it would be entertaining to abduct girls and gang rape them. Out of fear, none of the victims talked. A female student, however, didn't want to remain silent. The kidnappers drew lots to decide which of them would become a murderer. At dawn they dragged the girl off to a lake and drowned her. They terrified the witnesses and severed all contact among themselves. It took the police several years to find the necessary clues. In the meantime, some of the perpetrators began raising families, even became model citizens. Their parents used every means possible to fight the evidence, heedless of the victims' suffering, motivated only by the need to save their children, their reputations, their position in society.

As I was reading some of these comments that are often nearing 10 years of age, it made me think; was the audience back then way more lenient with Czech movies or are Czech movies on a completely different level nowadays? Because Bolero is a complete pile of bull crap where the main characters talk out of their asses, the side characters play something every now and then and the story is about as usual as a trip to the Moon.

Todos los problemas relacionados con Bolerem están relacionados con la trama. Aquí, F.A.Brabec se adentró en un terreno muy resbaladizo. Eligió un caso criminal que aún es confuso y está rodeado de misterios inexplicables y contradicciones, y probablemente nunca sabremos realmente cómo fue en Bratislava en aquel entonces. Nuestro Defensor del Pueblo, Otakar Motejl, estuvo involucrado en este caso y en una entrevista declaró que fue uno de los casos más extraños de su carrera. F.A.Brabec trasladó la trama a la Praga actual, redujo el número de presuntos delincuentes, pero la similitud es simplemente evidente y seguramente dolorosa para todos los involucrados. No entiendo a Martina Stropnický, que aceptó el papel del investigador, porque uno de los hombres acusados de violación era supuestamente su compañero de clase en la escuela y, como consecuencia del proceso penal, supuestamente desarrolló una enfermedad mental. Es un tema controvertido, si la trama fuera inventada, todo se vería diferente, porque la música, la interpretación de Barbora Seidlová, la cinematografía son claramente puntos a favor de esta película.

A pretty good Czech crime drama, but unfortunately far from being truly great. It's just that the police officers' handling seemed so strange, random to me. Brabec concentrated more on atmosphere and individual shots, which worked well. The case itself is gritty, which adds a lot to it, and the final revelation of the whole scene really hits the viewer.
