A scathing tragicomedy about the ups and downs of a young camp counsellor, Let’s All Sing Around not only launched Ondřej Trojan’s directing career – then known as an actor with Prague’s Sklep theatre troupe – but also highlighted the creative potential of Jan Hřebejk and Petr Jarchovský as a dynamic writing duo. Trojan’s feature film debut works with Sklep’s own specific brand of poetry and absurd humour, although the film’s defining trait remains the fresh post-1989 audacity harnessed by the filmmakers to depict an array of camp clichés and the admitted ridiculousness of its now cult figures: dimwitted bodybuilder Bob and camp leader Bizon, who always gets the last word.
