Director Olga Malířová Špátová’s feature documentary authentically portrays Karel Gott as a phenomenal singer who gives his all to his fans, as a painter, but also as a loving husband and father. A man who was spreading joy with his songs for sixty years, among several generations not only here, but also in Europe, and even worldwide. The singer traces the steps of his life, allows viewers to peek behind the scenes of concerts, and shows also his family life and privacy that he otherwise tries to lovingly and humbly protect.

A very personal song sung alternately by a gentleman swan and a nightingale that flew back and forth from its cage. The anthropomorphism of the divine Karel is pleasant, but some episodes from Gott's reality show felt almost pathological.

As a person without identity, who has managed to smoothly adapt to practically any economic, social, and cultural system, Karel Gott is absolutely ideal subject for documentary research. However, this is not something we can expect from a film where the opening list of partners includes (I'm not kidding) a company producing toilet paper with the company Gott Agency and the main producer of it all is Gott's wife. She still acts as if she were playing herself badly. A fireworks display of banality, which probably serves as a kickstart to Charlotte Gott's career and the smoothing of the singer's legacy. Anyway, this experience had two pluses: 1) it made me interested in Klusák's book about Gott, 2) at night, I dreamt that I was in a military hospital and the chief physician asked me whether I thought it was still worth keeping Miloš Zeman on life support or to disconnect it, and after a brief thought, I decided to let them disconnect him, which I then watched through a basement window. How does this not relate?!

Karel Gott loved life very much and you could feel it beautifully in his songs. Despite a few shortcomings, this is clearly palpable in this documentary by cameraman Jan Malíř and director Olga Malířová Špátová. That's the main reason why I think Karel was really good. When I put it on, I had no idea how moved I would be. (85%)
