A surreally transgressive adaptation of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, Juráček's Case for a Rookie Hangman tells the tale of a man trapped in a parallel world to the familiar Communist-era Czechoslovakia. Provoking the authorities with its biting political satire, this film was 'banned forever' by the Czech government at the time.
