Shameless (2008 Film)
''Shameless'' ( cz, Nestyda), is a 2008 Czech comedy film directed by Jan Hřebejk. Following their collaborations on ''A Novel for Women'' and ''The Holiday Makers'', Czech filmmaker Hřebejk and author Michal Viewegh reunited for ''Shameless'', a comic romp based on Viewegh's bestselling ''Tales of Marriage and Sex''.
