Alphonse Mucha, an Art Nouveau artist focusing on posters, applied art and painting, including the monumental Slav Epic, gained international fame at the turn of the 19th century. But his legacy is even more relevant today than ever before. Japanese manga artists proudly cite Mucha as their inspiration, a ten-metre mural portrait of Mucha was created on a house in Los Angeles... Roman Vávra's documentary offers a surprising and current perspective on the great artist's life.
