The short shots presented in the preview of the film remind us of the poetic style and beauty of the pictures well-known from the films of Slovak director Juraj Jakubisko. Jakubisko, as a director, has a great sense for the artistic creation of each picture that can call up, along with the story, strong emotions in the spectator. Brabec, on the other hand, takes perfect shots with the same artistic sense for the quality of a picture, but the final result on the screen seems to have no significant impact on the audience. While Jakubisko is a great teller of film stories, and uses the artistic pictures to firm up the sense of the story, he works solely with the artistic creation of pictures, which often stand in deep contrast to the simple construction of the verses of K J Erben. The whole film has the superficial gloss of a perfect picture.
Every shot is beautiful, taken from the perfect angle in perfect colors and light.
It is as perfect as only a commercial can be. Kytice is not Brabec's first attempt at directing a feature film. The style of this film was based on the artistic beauty of each shot and utilized famous actors, the same basic components Brabec uses in the new film Kytice . As if to remedy this, Kytice is adapted from a poetic text which is far more well-known to Czech audiences. Even so, the final effect is very similar to that of Kr l Ubu .
