Review of I Served the King of England (2007) by Mikael K — 24 Nov 2011
Jiri Menzel has directed a flamboyant tragicomedy about a Czech waiter who lives through WWII, observing the Nazi occupation up close. The movie is a schizophrenic construct, mostly molded from levity but in its core carrying a dark insight into life in a totalitarian state.
âI Served the King of Englandâ� is memorable, but it doesn't quite succeed in the difficult task of balancing all of its very different components together. The film ends up seeming a bit too aimless and intangible to really have a strong effect.
