Utterly entrancing.
I’m not sure how much of it is real, though. It seems to present itself as a documentary of sorts, and some of the people (or characters) we see seem rather, uhm, unlikely.
If it’s all real, the film-makers are kinda cruel with their subjects.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw the end titles. This was made in 1972! The director was so ahead if his time.
Pictures of the Old World. Dusan Hanák. 1972. Slovakia.

- bacon
- honey
- calvadot
Crisp up the bacon in a pan. Add the honey and let it bubble a bit. Take off the heat and add calvados. Heat up again, but don’t let it boil. Serve hot in a glass.
I thought this was going to be horrible, but it’s about the best hot alcohol drink I’ve tasted. It’s not very nice after it’s cooled off, though.
