Buttoners [Rooftop Moviehouse]

Buttoners / dir. Petr Zelenka / 1997 / comedy, episodic / Czechia / Czech with English subtitles / 102 minutes

Buttoners consists of six short stories, told mostly with dark humor, irony, and often a bitterly sharp tone. They explore an ancient curse, human infidelity, strange obsessions, an unexpected miracle, and hypocritical forgiveness. Each story has a unique structure, a distinct atmosphere, and its own stylistic approach—yet they share recurring motifs, interconnected and observing the same themes from different angles.
