The wolf of Royal Vineyard St.
by Jan Nemec
68’ / HD / 2016
For the final film of his career, Němec adapted his recent book of quasi-autobiographical stories; based on his life, but not without mystification and mischief, hallmarks of his entire oeuvre. From Cannes to Yale University and partially shot guerilla-style, the then 80-year-old director demonstrates that being a punk has nothing to do with age.
