Django
A documentary by Olga Malířová Špátová about Petr Janda and the band Olympic.
Synopsis
Petr Janda, frontman of the band Olympic, singer, songwriter and guitarist, and one of the greatest legends in the history of Czech popular music, celebrated his 80th birthday in May 2022 and the band's 60th anniversary later that same year. To mark these two milestones, a feature-length documentary was made about this extraordinary musician and father of four daughters. Director Olga Malířová Špátová has crafted a compelling story about a love of music, obsession and passion, composing and performing. About the joys and struggles of creativity and life as a musician. About the pain of losing loved ones and close friends. About mistakes and weaknesses during the era of communist normalisation, when rock music and culture faced constant obstacles. A film about love and friendship. About fatherhood, which has now become the most important purpose of his life.
