jana Plodková on Surrogacy,‍ czech Cinema, and the Challenges of Modern Filmmaking

In a candid interview‍ with Spotlight Aktualne.cz, acclaimed Czech actress Jana Plodková opened up about her thoughts on surrogate motherhood, the ⁤state of Czech cinema, and her personal journey in the film industry. The conversation, available ‍in both video and‌ podcast formats, delved⁣ into her role in a new series exploring substitute ⁣motherhood, her views‍ on the ethical dilemmas surrounding surrogacy, and her reflections on the⁢ evolving landscape of Czech film.

Surrogacy: A Personal Viewpoint ⁣

Plodková’s role in the series portrays a woman who, after struggling with infertility, turns to surrogate motherhood. While she empathizes with couples who ​choose this path, she admits it’s not something she would personally consider. “It goes beyond me because it’s against nature.‍ When my body ‌was not able to conceive, it is ⁣indeed ‌just⁤ that way,” she shared.

However,she ⁢acknowledged that her perspective might shift if her daughter ever asked for her help in such a situation. “I⁣ think the mother always does the maximum for her daughter, and if ⁢it was her great wish, there would be a barrier,” she⁢ said. Yet, she remains uncertain about extending the same support to others, noting, “I would definitely say ⁢no, but it‌ depends on the situation, it is indeed tough to‍ say from the table.”

The State of Czech ⁤Cinema

The conversation also touched on the challenges facing Czech film production. While Plodková is a celebrated figure in the industry,⁤ she expressed concern about the over-reliance on romantic comedies that frequently enough fail to innovate.“Often there is a feeling that if one ⁢comedy succeeds, we⁣ can go on, but of course it does not work,” she explained. ⁤ ​

Despite this, she highlighted the success⁤ of Jiří Mádl’s historical film‍ Waves, which topped box office charts last year and earned an Oscar ​nomination.“Jirka (Mádl) managed to connect a very deep sensitive theme with the modern​ concept of a film that has a big slope,” ⁣she said. However, she remains skeptical about its ‍ability to shift the industry’s trajectory. “But I think it will not turn the optics. Of course, I would like it to the Czech‌ film,” she added. ⁤
