In the classic Czechoslavakian western-comedy-musical, everything goes when you're on Kolaloka Lemonade.
This film is beautiful. In the way that many movies are black and white, Lemonade Joe is black and white and yellow in some scenes, or black and white and blue in others. There is no other movie like this, and there never will be another one like it. No movie will ever capture the same comedic tone, music, western feeling or visual style of this.
Lemonade Joe takes everything I love about the genres it blends and rolls them up into one crazy film. In westerns like 'The Ox Bow Incident', I love the mysterious villains and saloon fights. In '60s musicals such as 'Funny Face', I love the creative, surreal music scenes and great antagonist songs. In comedies like 'Blazing Saddles', I like unconventional humor and memorable jokes. This film delivers on not only all of those, but more.
Lemonade Joe creates a unique tone for each scene not just with the colors, but also with the camera movement. In zany action scenes, cameras move frantically back and forth. In one beautiful scene where a black silhouette of a man plays guitar in the blue night, the camera stays mostly still.
This film is something special. There is an infinite amount of memorable parts, and this film sets up a tone that hasn't been in any movie before it, even though it was thought of as just a parody. And while it is partly a parody, Lemonade Joe is much more than that. It sets up a unique tone that you'll find in no other movie. So don't wait to watch it. Watch it now.
