Nestyda (Shameless) (2008) (TIFF09)
Nestyda (Shameless) (2009, written by Jan Hrebejk & Jirí Machácek, directed by Jan Hrebejk) is a Czech comedy that was rather unremarkable. It was legitimately funny at times and the lead character was indeed shameless in his self-centred actions. The situations he found himself in were often pretty funny but I really just thought he was an idiot and didn’t really care what happened to him.
There’s a scene at the end involving a fish and his son which was an excellent metaphor for how he was changing and more “alive” than he even realized. Sometimes, I suppose, we make the best decisions in the worst of ways.
