Movie Review: Protektor

From exterior, old culture to interior, new culture. It's time to go to the movies!


The Kino MAT has just what we need, a Czech film with English subtitles, called Protektor.


It was a much more serious movie than we anticipated from the poster. Set in Prague during World War II, it chronicles the story of a married couple. The woman is an up-and-coming actress and a Jew. The man is a radioman and a Christian. He struggles to effectively protect her as anti-Semitic activities and German occupation ravage the city. The characters were well developed and a slew of secondary characters brought life to their world. A very well done film, though expect it to be as serious as the time in which it was set. Recommended.
