Wiki.
Big Beat (Czech: Šakalí léta) is a 1993 Czech musical comedy directed by Jan Hřebejk. It is set in 1959 in Prague's Hotel International. The film was Hřebejk's breakthrough box-office hit and the first feature film made by Hřebejk and Petr Jarchovsky as a directing-writing team. Jarchovsky wrote the script based on a story by Petr Šabach. The music and lyrics were written for the film by singer-songwriter Ivan Hlas, and veteran cameraman Jan Malir also worked on the film. The film won four Czech Lion awards, including Best Film of 1993, Best Director (Hřebejk), Best Actor (Josef Abrhám) and Best Original Score.
