伊華.舒爾姆被尊為捷克新浪潮的「哲人」和「良心」,究其原因,是他敢於直視政治和社會、抨擊其虛偽蒙騙的道德執著。首部執導的劇情片開創新浪潮鞭撻現實的風氣。年青的模範工人向來奉行為黨為人民鞠躬盡粹的信念,可制度的高壓、特權階層的跋扈使他進退兩難,不肯放棄真理,代價是喪失一切。影片以寫實的新電影觀衝擊社會主義現實主義的教條,拆解政治的神話和謊言,一針見血的指出國家的腐化狀況,可謂言人所未言,回應了時代的呼喚,難怪立即被禁,兩年後才得見天日。舒爾姆於六十年代的創作成績斐然,可惜「布拉格之春」後被禁拍片多年,境遇一如他創造的悲劇人物。
盧卡諾國際電影節大獎、捷克影評人協會年度大獎
毫無疑問是捷克新浪潮最重要的領軍作品之一,曾長期被禁,是東歐首部成功處理異化,以及革命者與野心家之間的矛盾的影片。此作亦令舒爾姆成為捷克電影新浪潮的思想領袖。
