The reserved Mr. Stevens spent the most of his life as a butler at Lord Darlington's country house. Serving his master was always everything for him, as it was for housekeeper Miss Kenton, who came to the house at the beginning of the 1930s. An intense emotional bond formed between Mr. Stevens and Miss Kenton during their long years at the house, but the strict hierarchy of relationships between servants made a closer relationship impossible. However, echoes of their tortuously decent romance resound in their lives long after their ways parted. Remains of the Day is a masterful study of relationships devastated by the British class system that also gives us a feeling for the times leading up to World War II, as illustrated through political meetings with Germans organized by the ambitious Lord Darlington at his house.

Kazuo Ishiguro (* 1954), born in Japan, has lived in Britain since the age of six. His third novel, Remains of the Day, is one of the most impressive psychological novels of the last quarter of the twentieth century, and in 1989 received the prestigious Booker Prize. In 2017 Ishiguro received the Nobel Prize in Literature.

The film of the same name was made in 1993 by director James Ivory, who cast Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson in the main roles. The film received eight Oscar nominations and four Golden Globe nominations.

Keep exploring

The Wizard of Oz

The classic family film The Wizard of Oz contains all the themes that characterise David Lynch's work. Dreamlike logic of the narrative, the presence of supernatural beings, the exploration of new alternative dimensions with different ‘rules of the game’ and the moving musical interludes. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.


Wild at Heart

Youth, passion, obsession, murder – David Lynch’s portrait of the American dream. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.


Sunset Boulevard

A fraught tale of artistic ego is set in the now forgotten but mythical world of Hollywood studios, which never ceased to fascinate David Lynch. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.


Lost Highway

David Lynch's dreamlike work mixes an abstract plane with references to the most idiosyncratic noir films. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.


An award-winning existential comedy drama by the much admired Italian director Federico Fellini. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.


Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

A feature-length theatrical film dedicated to the seemingly familiar story of the fallen angel from Twin Peaks. In this revolutionary prequel for its time, Lynch follows the ill-fated diva on a cocaine-fuelled ride through hell. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.


Lolita

A cinematic treatment of Vladimir Nabokov's famous novel, in which the obsessive roots of David Lynch's paternal yet infantile incestuous parental figures are confronted with absurdly comic and terrifyingly demonic messengers of absolute evil. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.


Blue Velvet

The dark film, which smacks of sex, drugs, and ’60s suburbia, is at times a coming-of-age flick, at times a noir whodunit, and for the most part an undeniably and unexpectedly violent thriller. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.


Persona

From Ibsen, Pirandello and Vertov to Bergman's contemporaries and everything we affectionately refer to as ‘Lynchian’, films full of doubles, repressed sexual tension and the schizophrenic nature of the acting profession. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.


Commander

The unique production combines a physical theatre performance with live music and a film starring child actors of Farm in the Cave studio to communicate an urgent, yet widely overlooked, topic – the online radicalisation of youth.



PLI

Viktor Černický's solo production at the intersection of dance, physical theatre, and the visual arts which delivers a visually compelling study of balance, endurance, and creativity.



Czech Hero

Satirical physical theater production Czech Hero by the theatre ensemble Farm in the Cave, which focuses on the contemporary and pressing topic of disinformation and political marketing. Movement, words, live music, dynamics, energy, exaggeration. All this in the DOX+ hall.



Thin Skin

A performance by established circus acrobat Eliška Brtnická and her hypnotic production Thin Skin at the interface of movement installation and contemporary circus in the spaces of the DOX Centre.



Refuge

They're on their way. Out of fear. No guarantees. Three people cross paths on the run. Bound to each other, they traverse territories of anxiety, courage, failure and compassion. They seek refuge in a world that doesn't care for them.



Is this the end?
No, it's the beginning.
