Plot summary

A family saga taking place mostly in a small Slovak village over a period of thirty years (1887–1917). The first part captures the life of Martin Pichandu in the development of his craft, masonry; in the second part, his son is center stage living in a period of socio-political crisis, which ultimately results in the first World War. After originally airing on Czechoslovakian television in 1983 as a four-part 226-minute mini-series, this production received a 163-minute theatrical release in 1984.

A bizarre combination of genres and a plot

A bizarre combination of genres and a plot which is not easily understood by those without knowledge of Slovakian history. Quite hilarious in parts, and mind-numbingly dull in others.

Who thought, after Bathory, that Jakubisko can't do

Who thought, after Bathory, that Jakubisko can't do historical movies, should watch this 3 hours long epic from Slovakian history. No moment of boredom or awkwa

Another name in English for this film

I saw this at Los Angeles Filmex in about 1989. The director presented it, and it was called "The Millenial Bees" at that showing.While I recall some of the magical atmosphere of the film as reported in the other commentary, this film traces family and ethnic feuds through generations, and I thought it was an important film historically.Won't someone put this out on DVD, with appropriate historical information? My sense was that it had emotional power and was really instructive about this enduring conflict.Criterion? Another prestige distributor?
