The story

What Is I Dutifully Report About?

The premise of I Dutifully Report without spoilers.

A comedic adaptation of Jaroslav Hašek’s novel The Good Soldier Švejk set in World War I. Hapless soldier Josef Švejk’s journey to the front is filled with absurd scenes: a secret cognac purchase, posing as a Russian POW, a courtroom trial, and a lieutenant caught in a brothel. The film includes the famous train episode and the Budějovice anabasis, and Steklý’s version remains the most celebrated adaptation.
