Abstract
The study on the best documentary essays by Věra Chytilová embraces the portraits of eminent personalities (Chytilová vs. Forman, TGM – The Liberator, Searching For Ester) and notable locations (Prague: The Restless Heart of Europe, Troja in the Transformation Time etc.) in focusing on the temporality, relation between the past and the present, as well as the impermanence, timelessness and eternity.
