The White World According to DaliborekVít Klusák

Daliborek: a wannabe Youtube star, neo-Nazi and mommy’s boy. A tragicomic portrait of a forty-year-old who makes neo-Nazi videos fueled by a love of “likes” rather than by conviction.

Industrial painter Daliborek is a 40-year-old rancorous Czech who still lives with his mother. The painter, who writes hate songs and who is a neo-Nazi, is not very satisfied with his life, but has no idea how to change it. When his mother starts a new relationship, Daliborek also starts looking for love. But is that compatible with his worldview built up of nothing but hatred? Director Vít Klusák fully embraces the tragicomic duality of his main character. It is difficult not to sympathize with Daliborek’s awkward attempts to meet people or to chuckle at the humorous situations at the apartment he shares with his mother. At the same time, the apparent underdog constantly insults entire groups of people with a frightening perseverance. The camera registers everything in a stylized way, leaving the neo-Nazi more than enough space to undermine his own arguments and uncover his uncertainties. The result is a hilarious, intriguing and disturbing view of the alt right movement in Europe. Klusák does not achieve this by attacking the ideology itself, but by showing us a human portrait of one of her deeply frustrated followers.
