The Very Late Afternoon of a Faun (1983)
A bachelor named Faun with a Don Juan complex, seized with a hypochondriac's fear of the ineluctable approach of death, enters a race against time's passage. Faun's sexual love is imbued with the narcissistic vanity of a self-satisfied bacchant who even towards old age can't manage to forgo his lifelong pose as an irresistable seducer of women. He desperately searches for meaning in superficial, fleeting sex.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
I'm not sure what this movie is about, or if it is any good. It covers a period of time in the life of an older man, who works in an office in Prague and has an interest in young ladies. He has a flamboyant personalty, as revealed through his various exclamations and comments to himself, though it's unclear if he is a fool or a gentleman. Seems the intention of the movie is some sort of existential absurdism, and it's rather fragmentary with bizarre camera-work at times. Though by all rights it should be an obnoxious experience, the film seems to have a sincere playfulness about it instead of being pretentious or cynical. Sucharípa's sympathetic performance enhances the obscure plot, though whether the movie is enjoyable probably depends on the viewer's mood.
