The highly anticipated film “Terezn: Lska za zd” had its premiere in Prague’s Lucerna cinema, showcasing the stories of several personalities from the Terezin ghetto. One of the main characters, composer Hans Krsa, was portrayed by actor Jan Rvai.
Before filming, Rvai had limited knowledge about Krsa and had to do extensive research to understand the person he was portraying. “It was quite challenging because there isn’t much information available about him. But each of us actors had the advantage that the director didn’t have a specific image of the character in mind. I was surprised that I, with my appearance, was cast in the role of a Jewish person. It made me happy, and I tried my best to fulfill the director’s vision,” Rvai explained. He attended the premiere with his beautiful wife Zuzana, whom he secretly married last April. Rvai affectionately kissed her on the forehead in front of the photographers.
Another notable presence at the premiere was actor Boek Slezek, who portrayed a Nazi officer in the film. Slezek, who had given up alcohol and cigarettes years ago, had to experience what it was like to smoke for his role. “The director wanted me to smoke during the scene. I agreed, thinking I could handle it. But when it came time to speak, I suddenly felt dizzy, almost fainted, and couldn’t say a word. The props department then gave me special actor cigarettes, which didn’t contain tobacco but some dried hay or something. I didn’t choke, but I have to admit that real cigarettes smell better,” Slezek recalled on his Instagram profile.
Actor and presenter Milan Drobn attended the premiere with his wife Dana Polcaro. Drobn had previously described Polcaro as his soulmate, the woman who saved his life, in a major interview with Expres.cz. “My wife, Dana, was surprised by all the attention and had her reasons to be nervous and have faith in me. I can’t disappoint someone who believes in me, even though I’m a jerk,” Slezek explained.
The premiere was also attended by a delegation of Italian actors and filmmakers, including director Gabriel Guidi and the lead actor Mauro Conte. The war film, which received a million-dollar grant from the Prague Film Fund, also attracted the attention of renowned singer Milan Drobn. The Czech country music legend made a rare public appearance, looking in good health. He was accompanied by his beautiful wife Dana Polcaro, who was dressed extravagantly as always.
The premiere of “Terezn: Lska za zd” was a star-studded event, bringing together talented actors, filmmakers, and notable personalities. The film’s portrayal of the stories from the Terezin ghetto is expected to captivate audiences and shed light on an important chapter in history.
