BURNING BUSH

With USA credits like TREME & THE WIRE, it was logical for HBO Europe to turn to Oscar-nominated Polish director Agnieszka Holland to create this tense mini-series about the Soviet crackdown on Czechoslovakia in 1968. Now being released in the USA as a feature film, Burning Bush focuses on the complex consequences after a student burns himself to death as an act of protest. (JLH: 4/5)

Q: Does Burning Bush pass the Bechdel Test? DigitalStampA

Yes!

The main character, “Dagmar Burešová,” is based on a real woman who represented the family of Jan Palach in a libel suit after he killed himself.

In her professional role, Burešová interacts with Jan Palach’s mother, a key [female] witness for the defense, and the [female] judge.

At home, however, Burešová is also the mother of two young daughters!

  25. How does “Burning Bush” explore the aftermath and consequences following a student’s self-immolation as an act of protest in the context of the Soviet crackdown on Czechoslovakia in 1968? How does director Agnieszka Holland contribute to the narrative, given her background with acclaimed works like “TREME” and “THE WIRE”?
