Dreaming of becoming a millionaire, a short but ambitious Czech works his way into a posh pre-war luxury spa, where his marriage to a Hitler-loving fräulein provides him with a golden opportunity to make his fondest wish come true.
Jiří Menzel has made a career out of adapting the work of legendary Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal, and I Served the King of England is a crowning achievement. Undimmed by age, he won the Critics Prize at Berlinale for this cheeky, pitch-black charmer, full of bittersweet humor and sharp observations.
