Filmmaker Jan Hลebejk fondlyโข recalls Vฤra Kลesadlovรก, the actress and โฃsinger, remembering her striking sincerity and โdirectness. He shared these reflections โขfollowing Kลesadlovรก’s recent passing.
Hลebejkโข specifically highlighted Kลesadlovรก’s performance in Ivanโค Passer’s intimate Lighting (1965) asโ her defining role.He recounted a memorable sceneโ were her character, ล tฤpo, is addressed by her first name by a โคpasserby, prompting aโ correction from Kลesadlovรก. This year, Hลebejk replicated the moment with Aneta Vignerovรก outside of the โscript, intending to share it with Radim kratochvรญl, Vฤra Kลesadlovรก’s youngest son, thoughโ he hadn’tโ yet received a response.
despite never having met Kลesadlovรก before a stay in โขAustralia,Hลebejk felt anโ immediate connection,describing it as โขif they had โฃknown each other for years. He was deeply impressed โby her โgenuine nature, noting it transcended her public persona as Miloลก Forman‘s wife and a member of the Semafor musical theater. “She had aโฃ sincerity in her that impressed me and did not create any barrier to theโข fact that โshe is Vฤra Kลesadlovรก, the wife of Miloลก Forman andโ the singer from Semafor,” Hลebejk stated. โHe concluded with a tribute: “May the lamp of eternalโ light shine on her.”
