Dir: Petr Zelenka (Buttoners)
Winner — Czech Lion, Best Supporting Actor

A film rich with dark, sarcastic humor, Wrong Side Up is directed by Petr Zelenka, and is based on his own award winning Czech play, Tales of Common Insanity.

The story focuses on Petr Hanek, a goofy but endearing man stuck in a dead-end job at the Prague airport. He spends his days trying to reclaim his ex-girlfriend, Jana, who broke up with him and is about to marry a wealthier man. Odd characters abound in Petr’s life, including his obsessed mother, his father who was the voice of Communist-era newsreels and is now having an affair with a young sculptor who is fascinated with his past, and his neighbors who pay Petr to watch them have sex.

Wrong Side Up is a wry, entertaining comedy of manners populated by people longing to connect with each other.

Another lovely film by Zelenka, filled with quirky jokes and a sad kind of charm. I watched the film in the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2006 and left the cinema knowing I experienced something exceptional. The English title is Wrong Side Up. This movie is a little less underground than Year of the Devil (Rok Dabla), it starts out like a romantic comedy, but the intricate sidelines expose many little parts of other people's lives, so it results in a big story about longing. Longing for love, friendship and the complications that follow typical tendencies and excesses. The ending is bittersweet like the film itself, which is completely set against the background of Prague in early summer. I absolutely recommend it!

Sure to set you smiling wide, Wrong Side Up is a wonderfully eccentric comedy from Czech filmmaker Petr Zelenka (Buttoners, Year of the Horse) about the lengths people will go to in the name of love. Petr works at the freight terminal of an airport and his girlfriend Jana has just left him for someone with a far more interesting job. Petr's hapless attempts to get her back leave some hope for all of us while his speechless father's seduction of a young sculptress is nothing short of hilarious.
