Contents/Summary
- Summary
- A petty offense as a teenager earned René a prison sentence, and set him off on life of crime. Misanthropic, intelligent and introspective, he spends his life in and out of prison, struggling to fit in anywhere in the quickly changing Czech Republic. Veteran film maker Helena Třeštíková began filming René in 1989, and kept up with him over the next two decades, even after he burgled her flat. Their collaboration, and his brief fame as a documentary star, spur him to write, and he becomes a published author. Yet the demons driving him remain. This engrossing film takes us on a journey of a life lived outside of society.
