Oscar-winning Czech film director Jiri Menzel dies aged 82 after battling serious and prolonged health problems
Born on February 23, 1938, Menzel won the Academy Award for the best foreign language film with"Closely Watched Trains", a World War II drama, in 1967.
"Our dear Jiri, the bravest of the brave. Your body left our mundane world in our arms last night," his wife wrote on Facebook on Sunday. Hrabal became an endless source of inspiration for Menzel, who shot the bitter-sweet film "Larks on a String" in 1969, depicting the life of people sidelined by the Communist regime ruling in then-Czechoslovakia and based on Hrabal's novel.
