Clownwise
by Viktor Taus, 2012.
A poignant comedy that proves it's literary impossible to be scared if one can laugh...
The story in a few words
Oskar, Max and Viktor, once a superstar clown trio, which split up over a never forgiven heart-rending fight, are now paying the price of 40 years of separate grueling lives on and off the stage. Their irresistible sense of humor is challenged by fear of death, cancer, family dysfunction and other joys of old age.
They're about to risk everything to find out if there's one more show left in them, a re-staging of the famous clownery that launched the group's career. On the verge of the very end, they're brought together one more time, facing the hardest challenge yet: forgiving one another.

While still enrolled as a student of FAMU, the Prague film school, Viktor Taus directed his first feature film Kanarek to high critical acclaim. Then, he spent a number of years working as one of the most succesful directors of commercials in the country, shooting over 70 ads for such prestigious clients as Renault, Vodafone, O2, GE Money Bank, Unilever and Nestle among others.
In 2007, he co-founded the production company Fog'n'Desire Films with partner Michal Kollar. In 2010, his second feature drama, The Great Thaw, was released, reaching 650 000 admissions in the Czech Republic alone, with the second largest opening week-end.
