About Lion with a White Mane
The film tells the exciting life of the great Czech composer Leos Janácek (1854-1928), also known by the thick silver hair that crowned his head and his strong character, which could overcome the adversities of fate.
Directed by Jaromil Jireš, Lion with a White Mane leans on a strong ensemble — Luděk Munzar, Jana Hlaváčová, Veronika Žilková — 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 1987.
