Description The publication theoretically defines dramaturgical analysis as a type of audio-visual art interpretation based on the philosophical hermeneutics inspired by Hans-Georg Gadamer‘s tradition. This method is then applied in order to reach analytical understanding of the conception of beauty in selected films by Jan Špáta. The detailed analysis of the selected films arises from the task of dramaturgy as an understanding discipline which reveals the meaning of the piece of art in relation to specific tools of its construction. The resulting interpretation based on the philosophy of Martin Heidegger shows Špáta‘s work as an ambitious and complex testimony of beauty as awareness of thrownness of existence (Dasein) which returns the man to his being. The existential dimension of beauty in Špáta‘s films enables human suffering to adapt as an organic part of meaningful existence.
