About Hodina života
It is 1883 and Josef Hibes, a social democrat, is organising a strike of textile workers. The main demand is a reduction in working hours...
Directed by Václav Matějka, Hodina života leans on a strong ensemble — Petr Štěpánek, Miroslav Zounar, Zdena Hadrbolcová — 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 1981.
