This unconventional situational docu-portrait bears witness to the complicated personal universe of Jožo Ráž – frontman of Elán, the most popular “Czechoslovak” rock band in history. It is a cinematic encounter with a Christian Buddhist believer in Communism. Ten years in the making, the portrait is filmed in unexpected locations and open-ended situations which highlight the constellations of Ráž’s life: cocoa and whisky, music and family, dictatorship and meditation, ephemerality and eternity, God and nothingness, even good and evil as embodied by the Smurfs and Gargamel. Director Jan Gogola, Jr. explains his approach thus: “I look at him as a figure that, as part of Elán, forged a connection with several generations of Czechs and Slovaks, someone whose work has the power to unify, but whose public statements have also long divided society, and even repelled a part of it.” Yielding himself to a budding friendship with his subject, the filmmaker aspires to understand Ráž’s homespun metaphysics, his “inborn ability to live in the universe with God”.
