Greetings!
I was not planning on sending out more messages on the Vlacil retrospective, but the wonderful response of New York critics must be shared. It warms my heart to see Vlacil’s artistry recognized. Thank you to the Film Society of the Lincoln Center for presenting the retrospective and the Czech Center for supporting it.
The Wall Street Journal’s review by Kristin M. Jones who says: "The Fantastic World of František Vláčil," is a welcome salute to a director whose work should be world-renowned.

J.Hoberman, longtime Vlacil fan, writes beautiful and informed capsule reviews in The Village Voice

(and just for good memories sake, here’s Michael Atkinson’s beautiful article on Vlacil when BAMcinematek presented his retrospective back in 2002 calling it “one of the most inspired for a metro-retro in years”: http://www.villagevoice.com/content/printVersion/170090/)
David Hudson on Mubi.com includes the series in his notebook with a great picture

...and even Time Out NY reserved themselves from the sarcasm that usually appears in their descriptions of Czech films.
Let’s celebrate Vlacil, go to the cinema. WRT has a wonderful large screen allowing you to savor the beautiful images....
See you there, Irena
