The vast majority of us associate Friday night with various types of relaxation, one of the most popular of which is undoubtedly watching movies. If you also plan to watch movies today, but you still don't know where and what to watch, we have a selection of Czech movies available for free and legally on YouTube. In order to give you as little spoilers as possible with our own impressions of the films, we always include the distributor's text in their captions (you can also find it on ČSFD), which can set the mood for the film, but at the same time guarantees that it won't reveal too much about it. Such pleasant entertainment.

Rebels
Rebels – that is the title of the third feature film by director Filip Renč, who this time did not choose a psychological drama, but based on a script he wrote with Zdeněk Zelenka, he shot a genre much more welcomed by the audience, namely a musical with the clarifying subtitle “A song retro film from the 60s”. In a charming artistic style of the atmosphere of the late 60s, the film tells mainly about one great love, which, however, history was not exactly kind to. High school graduate Tereza and a boy who ran away from the war – these are the main characters of the story, in which music and dance play a dominant role, as the film features a total of eleven large choreographic numbers, which are visual adaptations of the most famous hits from the 60s. The authors' goal was to make a film that, against the backdrop of difficult times, tells a story in an entertaining way about everything positive that life has to offer, especially about love. The film Rebels is about a time that will perhaps be a discovery for young viewers, and probably a strong memory for older ones.
