Directed in 1969 by Jirí Menzel, Larks on a string was immediately banned from all exploitation by the Czechoslovak censors. It was only after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 that this ban was lifted. The film’s success was not long in coming, as it won the Golden Bear at the 1990 Berlinale. This film can now be rediscovered in a restored 4K version as part of the retrospective dedicated to the Czech filmmaker, “Comedy is a weapon“, organised by the distributor Malavida.
