Žižkovský flashy and self-taught, who was brought in the cameraman limelight by his immeasurable, exceptional imagination and technical ingenuity. And also courage: in time of Soviet invasion in August 1968 he shot hundreds of feet of documentary material from Prague streets, the same in January 1969 at the funeral of Jan Palach. Meanwhile, he helped with his obsessive visual concept the legendary Czech horror Cremator (Spalovač mrtvol, 1968). Revenge for all this in the form of his removal from the film studio Barrandov and subsequent health problems mercilessly ended his career. After signing Charter 77, his farewell was house performance of his wife, actress Vlasta Chramostová Report on Burials in the Czech Republic (Zpráva o pohřbívání v Čechách, 1979).
