Golden Sixties - Season 1 Episode 11 Jan Kačer

From the role of partisan Pavel in the Kadár-Klos film Because We Don’t Forget (Smrt si říká Engelchen, 1963), the icon actor of the sixties. Between the years of 1965-1975 a member of the Drama club, a theatre closely connected to the poetics of the new wave in film. A presenter of figures that were often quite anti-polar as to their character qualities in the films of Evald Schorm, Hynek Bočan, Antonín Máša, František Vláčil, Václav Vorlíček and Vaclav Gajer. During normalization he was expelled from Prague as politically maladjusted, and did not get the chance of larger film roles until the end of the eighties. Currently he works in theatre and television and is involved in charitable events, and summarizes the experiences of his life’s journey in compelling commemorative essays.
