Otakar Vávra turned to Mrštík’s love novel, which had already served in the silent era as a model for the famous film of the same name by Karel Anton starring Ji?í Voskovec, again in 1940. Vávra concentrated on capturing the simple poetry of young love in the midst of springtime nature untouched by civilisation. The unrealism of the nature shots was the artistic intention. Vávra and his cinematographer Pe?enka did not make a film about May nature, but about the fairy tale of May nature. Therefore, Pe?enka deliberately used strange and, to that extent, unusual camerawork techniques in Czech cinema: he shot with special filters or on special infrared material, thus achieving the impression of immateriality. In the main roles, Nataša Gollová and Svatopluk Beneš were very successful, both of them managing to imbue their characters with a certain charm of naturalness and actorly shyness. Vávra’s Fairytale of May is an exceptionally strong piece of cinema, also thanks to the cinematographic ingenuity of Ferdinand Pe?enka and the impressive music of Ji?í Srnka. It is a true fairy tale of youth and an elixir of life, laced with the May scent of the K?ivoklát forests.
