The subject of this bachelor thesis is primarily the
neoformalist analysis of the documentary film All for the Good
of the World and Nošovice by Vít Klusák which at the
same time is supplemented and expanded by an exploration of the
formalistic and stylistic documentary processes used by the
film´s creators. Neoformalist analysis is based on the concept
developed by David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson. The approach
of Bill Nichols was then selected from all theoretical trends
in documentary film analysis, as it is compatible with the
methodology of Bordwell and Thompson as based on cognitivism.
This thesis integrates three levels: 1. How the analysed film
functions as a work of art/as movie (that is, an analysis of
its form, style, and narrative), 2. How the analysed film
functions as a documentary (that is, an analysis of its
“voice”, its modes) and 3. How the analysed film is a part of
the sociological phenomenon of cinematography (that is, namely
how it was produced, distributed and received, however also how
it was “otherwise” in interaction with the actual world). The
dominant of the film is defined as dualism of pictures, voices
and worlds with intentionally enhanced poetisation.
