Biography
Petr Nikolaev (b. 1957, Prague) took a documentary film course at Prague’s FAMU (1978–1984), and left for France after graduating. While he was still studying he gained kudos with the films Fit for Service (1979) and Praga caput regni (1980). Five years after returning to his native country he debuted with the literary adaptation The Wonderful Years That Sucked (1997), which was screened at Karlovy Vary. He chose the restrictive Communist years as the setting for his acclaimed film It’s Gonna Get Worse (2007), shown at KVIFF after its premiere at the Berlinale. His drama A Little Piece of Heaven (2005) was chosen by Variety critics for the magazine’s selection at the Karlovy Vary festival. He again demonstrated his stylistic versatility in 2009 with the fairy tale In the Name of the King. He has directed numerous TV documentaries, films and series and is currently working on the crime drama The Story of the Godfather.
