The Czechia will send a Charlatan to the Oscars

Ivan Trojan played the lead role in the film, which premiered at the Berlinale festival, and a younger version was played by his son Josef Trojan.

The film The Charlatan was a Czech-Irish-Polish-Slovak co-production. It is inspired by the real destinies of the healer Jan Mikolášek, to whom thousands of people from all walks of life, including the most important personalities of political and cultural life, turned for help over the course of several decades. Mikolášek was a person without a professional medical education, but with an unusual and inexplicable talent to diagnose and treat diseases with the help of herbs.

“It was my pleasure and honor to shoot the Burning Bush again in the Czech Republic, which is closest to my heart,” said director Agnieszka Hollandová. Alongside Ivan and Josef Trojanová, she cast actors such as Juraj Loje, Jaroslav Pokorná, Martin Myšička, Miroslav Hanuš, Jiří Černý, Tomáš Jeřábek and Jan Budař. The film bears the handwriting of cinematographer Martin Štrba and costume designer Katarína Štrbová-Bieliková.

Already the 93rd annual Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Oscar will be held on April 25, 2021 in Los Angeles. This year, academics selected from 10 Czech feature and documentary films submitted by their producers. The vote took place from 1 to 11 October 2020.

The Oscar shortlist will be published on February 9, 2021 and the nominations will be published on March 15, 2021.

Oscars have recently been perceived as very controversial. Under the influence of political correctness, they have made unprecedented changes, including quotas for homosexuals, lesbians, transsexuals and national minorities in films.
