Filmmaker Jiri Menzel has died at the age of 82.

He's remembered at the Guardian : Jiri Menzel (1938 - 2020)

And the British Broadcasting Corporation : Jiri Menzel remembered ...

Thanks for the movies and for all the great memories, Mr. Menzel, and for introducing me to the unbridled joys of Czech cinema during childhood ... I'm forever grateful ...

Jiri Menzel
