The article deals with the analysis of the intepretional strategies and common motives that are discernible in numerous film adaptations of the Jaroslav Hašek's novel The Good Soldier Schweik.

The second part of the article is focused on suprising analogies between the Hasek's type of narration and the phenomenological method of epoché.
