Jan Svěrák's fantasy comedy conceives of television as a vampire-like entity capable of slurping up human energy. A young man discovers that he has lost strength after participating in a television poll. He soon realizes that a parallel world exists and that his TV alter ego is living it up. (Verleiher-Text)

Ich bin bewusstlos. Ich bin jetzt schon den dritten Tag bewusstlos und weiß es nicht, weil ich bewusstlos bin. Ich weiß nicht, nach wie vielen Jahren ich heute Akkumulator 1 gesehen habe, aber ich weiß mit Sicherheit, dass er mir "damals“ nicht so gut gefallen hat. Es ist nicht nur der originellste Film von Jan Svěrák, sondern meines Erachtens auch der originellste Film, der in Tschechien seit 1989 entstanden ist. Die Zuschauer*innen werden mit einer riesigen Menge an unglaublich verspielten Ideen bombardiert (für die erste Szene aus der "Welt hinter dem Bildschirm“ müsste sich selbst Terry Gilliam nichts schämen). Das donnernde Hauptmotiv der Musik klingt fast so, als ob es Elfman komponiert hätte. An die anfangs ein wenig merkwürdige Schauspielleistung von Petr Forman kann man sich gewöhnen und Zdeněk Svěrák, Marián Labuda sowie Bolek Polívka sind natürlich verlässliche Darsteller. Heute Morgen war ich beim Präsidenten. Er ist der Einzige, der die Fernsehsendung absagen kann. – Und was hat er Ihnen gesagt? – Man hat mich nicht zu ihm gelassen.

Ich war noch nie ein Fan oder Bewunderer von Jan und Zdeněk Svěrák, und Akkumulator 1 wird meine Einstellung sicherlich nicht ändern oder korrigieren. Wahrscheinlich werden Die Fahrt, Kolya und Leergut unübertroffen bleiben. Die anderen Filme haben mich weniger berührt und die in den letzten Jahren noch weniger. Aber ich lasse mich gerne überraschen. Vielleicht dieses Jahr :-)

My favourite Jan Svěrák film. An original premise, a smart script by Svěrák Sr. and pretty good visual effects for the time. And for me, the twist remains current, sometimes, after sitting at the computer and watching the monitor all day, I feel I could use a healer like Fišárek :)

Comedy overflowing with visual ideas that combines ecology with sci-fi, romance, and one-liners. Jan Svěrák was incredibly lucky back then when he had this script at his disposal and had his father and Petr Forman in their best form in front of the camera, so it's no wonder. I like goats.

After elementary school, Jan Svěrák decided to take a risk and try out a substance that had not yet been tested in the Czech Republic, which was a genre mix between parody, comedy, love story, adventure film, and philosophical allegory. While The Elementary School is a stylistically pure retro comedy, which was written with certainty, Accumulator 1 had a difficult time finding an audience in the Czech Republic due to its genre ambiguity. This was partially due to the risky casting, which cast Petr Forman in the lead role, and his co-star was also an unknown actress in the Czech Republic. Additionally, at the time of its release, the Czech Republic was not sufficiently saturated with Hollywood action productions, which Svěrák evidently made fun of. The cosmopolitan film, to a large extent, unfairly earned a reputation as a weaker film both from critics and audiences. On the other hand, the film's budget and the technical aspect, which was especially demonstrated in scenes from a parallel reality behind a TV screen, are at a very respectable level. It is not a bad film, even if only for its originality and uniqueness among Czech films and the high professionalism of the screenwriter and director. Overall impression: 75%.

A beautiful showcase of the golden nineties in free Czech cinema. It features unusual subject matter, genre games, inspiration from abroad, but also Cimrman-like recession (Svěrák Sr. paired with Kolářová, Smoljak with his proverbs), beautiful women (and their cleavages observed through the playful optics of a very young director) and a memory of a time when it was possible to believe in anything. Some of the pop culture references may have faded a bit, but others are still pleasing years later. However, the love for the medium of film is clearly audible, with the best gags being the captions. And that’s not even mentioning the work with the main motifs from "Nabucco."
