film_summary

Scriptwriter and director Miloš Makovec came close to the genre of a pure psychological crime picture with his Čtyři v kruhu (Four in a Circle), shot in 1967. The hero of the story, a retired lawyer, arrives at his house in the countryside, inhabited by his two nephews. The older one, scientist Karel, becomes the victim of a faked suicide contrived by his jealous, incompetent brother Michal. A curiosity of the film is the stylish work of cameraman Bedřich Baťka, who in the same year also cooperated on the visually exceptional historical drama of František Vláčil, Marketa Lazarová (Marketa Lazarová, 1967). Popular actor Jan Tříska offers a concentrated dramatic performance in the character of the frustrated, rebellious Michal.
