About If I Had a Gun
Vlado, an intelligent boy living in a small village, has fantasies that take him away from his humdrum life. But as the Nazi occupation begins to encroach on the townsfolk his fantasies and reality begin to merge.
Directed by Štefan Uher, If I Had a Gun leans on a strong ensemble — Marián Bernát, Jozef Gráf, Daniel Lapuník — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1971.
