О чем же ином?

((Выдержав хотя бы половину 80 минутного фильма В. Хитиловой, неискушенный зритель может воскликнуть: "Что это было, Ватсон"?

И в чем-то будет прав. Лента решительно кажется незавершенным проектом. Совокупление документального жанра с "домашним видео" кажется странным.

Возможные параллельные конфликты: у домохозяйки семейные измены, у гимнастки трудности тренировки в преклонном (для гимнастики) возрасте - очень забавно не смотрятся.
То, что фильм "считается приинадлежащим «Новой чешской волне» - душу не греет.

Но специалистам приходится верить на слово:

"describes the film as a meditation on the meaning of life, expressed through Eva and Vera's lines which are on one hand trivial everyday phrases and on the other hand appear to have metaphorical importance as commentary on life's struggles; these statements also carry a theme set in the film's title, as they are always "about something different".

О чём-то ином (чеш. O necem jiném) — чехословацкий фильм режиссёра Веры Хитиловой, снятый в 1963 году. В фильме перемежаются две отдельных истории: одна о Вере — вымышленной домохозяйке в Чехословакии, и другая о Еве — олимпийской гимнастке.

Something Different has been described as a cinematic breakthrough alongside Black Peter and The Cry, discarding the morality tales of earlier socialist cinema and replacing them with frank depictions of everyday life, in addition to breaking with other traditional conventions of film form.[9]

In an overview of Chytilová's early career, Jiří Ceslar, professor of film at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague, describes the film as a meditation on the meaning of life, expressed through Eva and Vera's lines which are on one hand trivial everyday phrases and on the other hand appear to have metaphorical importance as commentary on life's struggles; these statements also carry a theme set in the film's title, as they are always "about something different".[6] While the film invites the viewer to draw connections between Vera and Eva's lives through their narrative juxtaposition, scholars have also noted the stark difference in the nature of Eva and Vera's problems: where Eva is constrained by an extremely rigid regime of exercise, Vera is vexed by a lack of direction.[7]

Something Different is also contrasted against Chytilová's following two films, 1965's Pearls of the Deep and 1966's Daisies. In particular, the three films display a progression in Chytilová's use of structure, with Pearls of the Deep as a stepping stone between the tightly structured Something Different and the anarchic Daisies.[7] Similarly, Something Different is an example of Chytilová's use of the style of cinema verite in her early career, contrasted against more allegorical works such as Daisies and Fruit of Paradise.[8]

Ева Босакова (чеш. Eva Bosáková, урожд. Вехтова, 18 декабря 1931 — 10 ноября 1991) — чехословацкая спортивная гимнастка, участница трёх олимпийских игр (1952, 1956 и 1960 года, причём на каждой из них выигрывала по крайней мере одну медаль, а в 1956 и 1960 годах стала чемпионкой на бревне) медалистка трёх чемпионатов мира (с 1954 по 1962 годы, причём в 1962 году стала на бревне чемпионкой).

Narodila se v sokolské rodině, její otec Alois Věchet byl vynikajícím sokolským gymnastou a účastník letních olympijských her v Berlíně.[1] Od dětství se, zprvu pod vedením svého otce, později Luboše Ogouna, věnovala gymnastice. Byla též výborná krasobruslařka a hrála házenou[1], ale gymnastika zvítězila.

V roce 1949 byla první mezi dorostenkami v přeboru Československé obce sokolské a následující rok již reprezentovala Československo při mezinárodním utkání s Rumunskem. Po ukončení gymnázia studovala Institut tělesné výchovy a sportu.

Something Different merges documentary-style footage of Eva, a Czechoslovakian gymnast played by real-life Olympic gold-medalist Eva Bosáková, as she endures incessant training in preparation for a competition. These scenes are juxtaposed against a narrative following the fictional housewife Vera, who is discontented and overwhelmed by housework as she struggles to take care of her misbehaving son and her inattentive husband, eventually resorting to a similarly unsatisfying affair. The only scene in which the two women's lives intersect is at a game of cards at the beginning of the film––otherwise, the two narratives are tied together only implicitly and thematically.

After many scenes of Eva enduring grueling and humiliating training sessions, the film includes scenes of her actually performing her routine at a competition, and a final shot of her working as a gymnastics instructor for a younger woman. Meanwhile, Vera's marriage almost collapses as her husband reveals that he saw Vera with another man and tells her that they should divorce, although a final scene shows her together with family, if still less than happy.
