The first ever Czechoslovak film musical, Ladislav Rychman's sumptuous The Hop-Pickers was a sensation upon release. Its popularity has since endured for generations of Czech viewers with its sympathetic portrayal of youthful rebellion, romance, flamboyant production numbers, and catchy songs.
Tapping into the Swinging 60s with a uniquely Czech perspective on the big-screen musical, The Hop-Pickers vibrantly fuses music, dance, and a New Wave-style authenticity with an untypical attitude to prescribed norms and sexual freedoms.
