"Exuberant and lyrical, cruel and packed with extraordinary dreamlike images. The film feels like a lost classic that is every bit as impressive as early Tarkovsky or Paradjanov" A rave review of Kachyňa's sublime LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC! at Close-Up Film close-upfilm.co.uk/long-live-th...

This also extends to Matthew Morlai Kamara, who I still remain convinced may go to these screenings but can't be arsed to write a single thing that's actually his (or in the films themselves). close-upfilm.co.uk/ready-or-not...
