[on his music for Musíme si pomáhat (2000)] If you are going to have music in your film, it is much better not to do what other elements of the film are doing, not to repeat what you see, not to be a sort of supporter of what is obvious - but to go against the grain. And that is the case in one famous scene in Musíme si pomáhat (2000), where you can see the crowds lynching young Germans in the streets of a small town. And I wrote for that some sort of happy Czech brass music. The musicians didn't know for what scene it was and so they played it with gusto and gave it their all. And suddenly one of them saw on the screen what was going on. They saw it was a very violent screen and became really scared by what they saw. After they saw that, they recorded it in a completely different way. Of course, we used the first version, because we wanted exactly this funny, carefree sort of atmosphere.
