About Černokněžník
Let's venture into the dark forests, where a father and his son Petr are wandering. They are returning from the city, where they earn extra money by playing music. This time, however, they cannot find their way home. Their only salvation is a light that appears in the distance. It leads them to a strange castle that has never stood there before. They have no idea that it is inhabited by a sorcerer who will intervene in Petr's life. In the years to come, Petr will serve the sorcerer, learn the value of friendship, and discover the love of a beautiful princess. However, in order to win her, he must free himself from the sorcerer's power...
Directed by Jiří Chlumský, Černokněžník leans on a strong ensemble — Jiří Bartoška, Jakub Saic, Petr Štěpánek — 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 family titles of 1997.
