Beauty in Trouble (Kráska v nesnázích) 2006

This charming little movie from the Czech Republic has won awards there as well as a Czech-sounding award in Denver. The director Jan Hrebejk and his writing partner Petr Jarchovsky, have a reputation for excellent comedy-dramas (I can't vouch for them, because I haven't seen the others, but they have been recognized worldwide with nominations and wins). Ana Geislerová is the red-headed beauty, Marcela, stunning in her green leather jacket and anything else she puts on or takes off. Her troubles are surmountable and her family is there for her, or is that the trouble? Most of the cast has long resumés in Czech movies (including Hrebejk/Jarchovshy's work), and, for the most part, they were all good in their roles. Definitely worth seeing.
