Slovak director Juraj Jakubisko is often described as the Fellini of
Eastern Europe. After the 1968 film The Deserter and the Nomads, he was
put in exile in Czechoslovakia after the soviet invasion. With
cooperation from a Paris film studio he made this film. Birds Orphans
and Fools is a brilliant, surreal and underrated tragic comedy that not
many people seem to know about. The story is about three orphans who
have lost their families in war. Although the two men Andrej and Yurick
and the lady Marta are adults, they act foolish like children trying to
live life to the fullest. They resort with their landlord and other
orphans in an bombed out church that is distorted with various shelves,
cupboards and animals scattered about. But the main characters can't
block out the pain of living in a war torn country, and after Yurick is
put in prison and returns a year later, things will never be the same.
Towards the end the climax becomes maybe one of the most tragic in
cinema history. This was the first film in Jakubisko's trilogy of
Happiness. If you enjoyed Truffaut's "Jules and Jim", Jodorowsky's
"Fando & Lis" or Vera Chytilova's "Daisies", you have to see this film.
The birds in the film are symbolic of the souls of the dead.
