Based on the 1928 novel by Pāvils Rozītis, in the Soviet era this film was perceived as an ironic, amusing critique of bourgeois society. However, behind the humorous façade, viewers felt a nostalgia for the bygone era of Latvian independence. The film is a vivid testament to the professionalism of the stable and ambitious Latvian film industry at that time. The creative group had set high goals for the film’s cinematography and its dramaturgy of colour, while composer Marģeris Zariņš skillfully arranged musical motifs from a variety of eras. An interesting detail: Ceplis was filmed in the same year as The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie by Spanish director Luis Buñuel (1972) and reveals a perhaps unconscious but logical affinity with global trends in the classical cinema of its day.
