On a Comet / Na komete DVDSynopsisThe Last Trick is the final film in Karel Zeman's series of visually-striking movies inspired by the ancient engravings in Jules Verne's novels. This story begins in a remote location of a French colony, which is suddenly torn from the earth's surface by a massive comet and hurled into space. However, even in this extraordinary setting, petty disputes, jealousies, and preparations for rebellion continue. The director reaches a peak of comedic exaggeration, caricaturing various bureaucrats and soldiers, refusing to engage with any "timeless" issues. This film marks the last time Jan Procházka is credited as a screenwriter in Zeman's works. It showcases Zeman's unique blend of humor and distinctive visual style, concluding his series of trick films with a whimsical and satirical exploration of human nature in the most unusual circumstances.Product Details DVDLength 77 min.Production Year 1970Audio CzechSubtitles Czech, EnglishFormat DVD (PAL)Region AllDirector Karel ZemanCast Emil Horvath, Magda VasaryovaAlso Known As:English - Hector Servadac's ArkEnglish - On the CometCzechoslovakia (working title) - Archa pana ServadacaFinland - AvaruusmatkaFrance - L'arche de M.
