Blocks of Flats (1960) is a Documentary film that follows a student work by Jiří Menzel, filmed during his second year at the FAMU film school. Views of old Prague and its tenement buildings, symbolizing the obsolete past, alternate with shots of construction sites for new prefabricated apartment buildings. In spite of certain unavoidable propagandistic overtones added by the director, it is notable as the beginning of his search for a “dramaturgy of colors.” Blocks of Flats is not currently listed with streaming providers in your selected region, but availability can change over time.
