I Served the King of England

Beautiful women (Zuzana Fialová, Petra Hrebícková, et al.) and tantalizing food dominate this delightfully charming, whimsical, critically acclaimed, dark comedy in which a just-released, short-statured prisoner (Ivan Barnev) in Prague chronicles his fascinating career during the early 1900s as an ambitious, opportunistic, coin-tossing waiter and maitre'd (Oldrich Kaiser) working at various fancy hotels and brothels in Czechoslovakia, his dream of being a millionaire, and his marriage to a brainwashed, Hitler-obsessed German (Julia Jentsch).
