Já, Olga Hepnarová (2016)
An excellent film! Another confirmation of the well known quality of Czech cinema.

Tackling a very difficult subject in a rigid social environment like communist Czechoslovakia in the 70's, this film has done it great!
The female lead -the very young Polish actress Michalina Olszanska is doing the impossible while portraying an extremely complex character that no-one would otherwise understand or empathize.
The cinematic recreation of the atmosphere of Prague in the early 70's is so true, that this this black & white film looks like it was really shot in the Seventies. Only the stable digital image suggests else.
I do recommend this movie to all sensitive viewers who wish to look deeper in to the human and social issues.
