Pleasant Moments (2006)

Synopsis of Pleasant Moments

An overworked psychologist struggles to balance her formidable workload with her failing love life to little avail in director/co-writer Vera Chytilova's quiet psychological drama. Between the insecure art historian (Jana Krausova) tormented by the damning remarks of her hypercritical son (David Kraus) and the rest of her distressed patients, put-upon psychologist Hana (Jana Janekova) can barely find time to think about her own needs, much less the needs of her increasingly bored husband (Igor Bares). Though it seems that there are few things these days that can draw the hard-working therapist away from her work, wealthy suitor Dub (Boleslav Polivka) does his best by repeatedly sending Hana flowers. Now, as Hana's marriage continues to fail and the eager Dub considers looking elsewhere for romance, the woman who can't seem to make up her mind about anything is forced to make one of the most important decisions of her whole life. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
