Mamon

Vladimír Michálek
Czech Republic, 2015, 108 Min

The investigative work of journalist Petr Vlček leads him to evidence of a multi-million dollar financial scandal involving a major energy company. As if that weren't enough, further enquiries suggest that his brother of all people is deeply mired in the case. The unrelenting quest for the truth that follows comes at the expense of the safety of Petr's loved ones.

HBO Europe s.r.o.

The Czech adaptation of Norwegian TV crime series MAMMON was broadcast under the title MAMON. Together with the Polish adaption of the same series, PAKT, the FilmFestival Cottbus this year showcases the first two episodes of both productions. One storyline, two series: the locations, as well as character disposition and ultimately the way in which the works were addressed to their respective audiences, these aspects differ strongly. How do the works compare and contrast in terms of character portrayal? What about depictions of violence, aesthetic values, or the division of roles amongst men and women? BB
