About The Very Late Afternoon of a Faun
A bachelor named Faun with a Don Juan complex, seized with a hypochondriac's fear of the ineluctable approach of death, enters a race against time's passage. Faun's sexual love is imbued with the narcissistic vanity of a self-satisfied bacchant who even towards old age can't manage to forgo his lifelong pose as an irresistable seducer of women. He desperately searches for meaning in superficial, fleeting sex.
Directed by Věra Chytilová, The Very Late Afternoon of a Faun leans on a strong ensemble — Leoš Suchařípa, Libuše Pospíšilová, Vlasta Špicnerová — 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 comedy titles of 1984.
