David Ondricek’s epic account of Olympic gold medalist and multiple record holder Emil Zatopek, who attained legendary status in the darkest days of the Czechoslovak communist regime, makes for a powerful opening film at this year’sThe director of “Whisper” and “In the Shadow,” who co-wrote the biopic with Alice Nellis and Jan P.
I made a feature-length documentary about Zatopek and I met a lot of his friends and competitors in my own country and in Finland. I also spent quite a bit of time with his wife Dana Zatopkova. I saw people cry as they recalled the amazing Emil Zatopek. For the script, there wasn’t a specific moment that we felt we’d cracked the story. In fact, we kept on making significant changes even during filming, particularly with Vaclav Neuzil and Martha Issova, who portray Emil and Dana Zatopek.
Did you feel Dana Zatopkova’s role in her husband’s success was a story that had not yet been fully dealt with? It’s almost impossible to say. But I was lucky enough to be able to consult on the script with my dad. He even gave me some visual ideas that are there in the film. “Zatopek” is a film full of emotion and my dad loved that, so I’m sure I would have received his praise for it and I miss his tender words.
