Abstract

Perceptions of Prague have emerged within my cinema going and research into film: Leaving and returning Prague in Philip Kaufmann’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1989), based on Milan Kundera’s novel; joyously encountering and deconstructing space within Věra Chytilová’s Daisies (1966), and a re-imagining a fantasy of central Europe in Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014). Each of these representations portray a cinematic Prague that is constructed, re-emerging, distanced and re-encountered as place and fantasy in film.
