I Served the King of England (2006)

Adapted from a novel by Bohumil Hrabal, acclaimed Czech director Jiri Menzel’s I Served the King of England (2006) is the story of Jan Child (Oldrich Kaiser), who reflects on his life in pursuit of being one of the greatest hotel managers the world has ever known. I Served then shows us Jan’s experiences from the 1930s onward, with his hotel changing along with the rest of the world, especially during World War II. Of course, any worthwhile hotel contains rooms packed with naked women, and here we can check in and check out Julia Jentsch, Petra Hrebícková, and Zuzana Fialova at their loveliest.
