JiriMenzel’s I Served the King of England (Czech title: Obsluhoval jsem anglického krále) tells the tale of is a near-masterpiece; individual scenes are stunning, the production is first-rate, the ironic life of Jan Dít? (Dít? means ‘child’ - and Jan is a tiny man) compelling. That the film doesn’t quite come together as a cohesive whole is almost beside the point – Menzel may have not done justice to the beloved novel of the same name by Bohumil Hrabal, but he’s molded the source material into something uniquely his own, and in the process created a film of rare beauty.
