Vlastníci [The Owners] (2019) directed by Jiří Havelka is a satirical comedy on the condition of Czech society and democracy as a whole told through the lens of a homeowners association meeting. The cast of the film represent the varying different types of people and communities in modern politics and how they interact with one another, where their conflicts only highlight their dysfunction. This research aims to answer the question “To what extent is Vlastníci a horror rather than a comedy.” This is answered by analysing characters and their effect on each other including which groups and communities they symbolise such as minorities and those in high power. The analysis on the outcome of these interactions itself is a metaphor for modern politics in a diverse and developing world. Through this film, we see representation of oligarchs, the usage of populism and push back against progress and development in favour of doing things “the old way”. As the film is based on real life, it provides commentary on the chaotic and endless debates over time sensitive issues, paralleling the impending doom of a crumbling building. The type of chaos through debate seen in the film is recognisable in major governing bodies such as the votes cast over the eight provided alternatives to Theresa May’s deal for the House of Commons to take before Brexit, eventually reaching the conclusion of all eight options being rejected. The best description of the film and its outcome are both summarised by its last dialogue: “Nothing happened.”
