Arts Zika documentary on photographer Jan Saudek premieres in Czech cinemas
Jan Saudek is one of the Czech Republic’s best-known photographers, whose work is instantly recognizable for his trademark use of coloration and scarred backdrops, his subjects sometimes intimate, sometimes provocative, nudes. Not long ago, Adolf Zika, a world-class fashion and artistic photographer in his own right, completed a feature film about Mr Saudek which has now hit Czech cinemas. Titled “Jan Saudek – Trapped by his Passions, No Hope for Rescue”, the film is an attempt to take a closer look at the man behind a very public persona: that of a “Don Juan” and a “bad boy” even at the age of 72. Saudek, Adolf Zika makes clear, is someone whose life and artistic career have been defined by passion, for better and for worse.
