The historical film Il Boemo commemorates the life of one of the most sought-after composers of the 18th century, Josef Mysliveček. The film was directed by Petr Václav, the main role was played by Vojtěch Dyk. As the website eXtra.cz quoted him, Mysliveček was a musician who wanted a career, but he was not a careerist.
The biographical drama Il Boemo was a great success during the awards ceremony of the Czech Film and Television Academy, where it collected six crystal statuettes, including the Czech Lion for best film.
“That award is given by the people who create the cinematography. Among them are directors, actors, editors and others, mostly people who understand film. Many of us know each other, we respect each other. So the price from them is important,” Petr Václav revealed in an interview for News website.
The film was also filmed abroad, specifically in the Italian city of Como. However, filming became complicated due to the coronavirus pandemic, it had to be postponed several times, and the production of costumes was also delayed.
The plot of the film is inspired by a true story. Il Boemo tries to capture the artist’s creation, the moments when Mysliveček became a legend, but also the moment when he died in oblivion.
“I tried to embody Josef as a person with his passions, his convictions and his doubts. He is a musician who cares about his career because it allows him to do what he likes, but he is not a careerist,” eXtra.cz quoted Dyk as saying.
The legendary musician who he was known in Italy by the name Giuseppe Misslivecek, detto Il Boemoeventually fell into oblivion.
Towards the end of his life, he began to show symptoms of syphilis. He was also greatly affected by the accident in the carriage, during which Mysliveček broke his nose. An infection got into his wound, with which he fought in the hospital for a year. When he finally returned home, he had to wear a silver band across his mutilated face. Finally he died alone, in poverty and friendless.
