Veľké šťastie, directed by Miloš Pietor, is a fascinating piece of 1980s Slovak cinema. The film encapsulates a raw, gritty tone that mirrors the struggles of its characters. It's not overly flashy, which adds to its authenticity. The pacing is deliberate—allowing you to really sit with the characters' emotions and experiences. There's a palpable sense of longing and pursuit of happiness, but it’s wrapped in a layer of realism that feels very much Eastern European. The performances are nuanced, with a strong emphasis on the everyday lives of ordinary people. It’s interesting how it navigates themes of hope amidst despair, and those practical effects, though subtle, really ground the story in its time and place.
