Karel Kachyňa se narodil 1. kvÄ›tna 1924 na MoravÄ›. Absolvoval FAMU v Praze roku 1951, kde se zaÅ™adil mezi prvnà posluchaÄe. Dokumentárnà snÃmky zaÄal natáÄet již bÄ›hem studià Äasto i jako kameraman. ZaÄÃnal ve dvojici se svým spolužákem VojtÄ›chem Jasným (1950 NIC NENà ZAMRAÄŒENO, 1952 NEOBYÄŒEJNà LÉTA, 1953 LIDÉ JEDNOHO SRDCE). PozdÄ›ji spoleÄnÄ› debutovali i na poli hraného filmu (1955 DNES VEÄŒER VÅ ECHNO SKONÄŒÃ), kde vÅ¡ak vstoupili do služeb režimnà propagandy. Následuje ukonÄenà spolupráce Kachyňi s Jasným a každý směřuje svou cestou. ZatÃmco co Jasného následujÃcà tvorba je zproÅ¡tÄ›na prorežimnà ideologie, Kachyňa nadále setrvává. Roku 1959 natáÄà film KRÃL Å UMAVY, zachycujÃcà hrdinné pohraniÄnÃky a jejich boj s naruÅ¡iteli hranic. Film je, aÄ vypravÄ›Äsky dokonalý, svým sdÄ›lenÃm rozporuplný. Vojenská a váleÄná tématika se držà i dalÅ¡Ãch Kachyňových dÄ›l (1955 ZTRACENà STOPA, 1958 TENKRÃT O VÃNOCÃCH, 1960 PRÃÄŒE).
Silný umÄ›lecký vzestup Karla Kachyňi byl zaznamenán jeho setkánÃm se scénáristou Janem Procházkou. Spolu tvoÅ™ili po celá Å¡edesátá léta. Z jejich spolupráce vznikly snÃmky jako napÅ™.: TRÃPENà (1962), jež byl ocenÄ›n Velkou cenou mezinárodnà poroty na filmovém festivalu v Cannes v oboru zábavných filmů, cenou poroty na MezinárodnÃm filmovém festivalu v Mar del Plata a StÅ™Ãbrnou gondolu a stÅ™Ãbrnou Minervou na MezinárodnÃm festivalu filmů pro mládež v Benátkách, VYSOKà ZEÄŽ (1954) ocenÄ›ná StÅ™Ãbrnou plachtou na MezinárodnÃm filmovém festivalu v Locarnu a AŤ ŽIJE REPUBLIKA (1965) rovněž ocenÄ›ná na Mar del Plata v kategorii „NejlepÅ¡Ã film“. Mezi nejdůležitÄ›jÅ¡Ã patřà spoleÄenská traumata natoÄené ve druhé půli Å¡edesátých let: KOÄŒÃR DO VÃDNÄš (1966), NOC NEVÄšSTY (1967), SMĚŠNà PÃN (1969), kterými se Kachyňa zaÅ™azuje po bok mladých režisérů nové vlny. V koprodukci se ZápadnÃm NÄ›meckem vzniká snÃmek UŽ ZASE SKÃÄŒU PŘES KALUŽE (1970), vypravujÃcà pÅ™ÃbÄ›h chlapce postiženého ochrnutÃm, jež se postavà svému handicapu Äelem. O výtvarnou složku filmu se postarala proslulá výtvarnice Ester Krumbachová (známá napÅ™. ze spolupráce s VÄ›rou Chytilovou na filmu Ovoce stromů rajských my jÃme). Film zÃskává na filmovém festivalu v San Sebastian „Zlatou lasturu“. Vášnivé výpovÄ›di vzniklé ve spolupráci Kachyňi s Procházkou jsou zakonÄeny dramatem UCHO (1970). Klaustrofobický snÃmek, ve kterém je vyobrazen strach, s nÃmž se bÄ›hem vlády totalitnÃho režimu potýkali i nejvÄ›tÅ¡Ã mocenské Å¡piÄky, se vÅ¡ak v dobÄ› normalizace vůbec nedoÄkal distribuce. O 30 let pozdÄ›ji se film doÄkal nominace na Zlatou palmu v Cannes. TÃm také konÄà Kachyňova spolupráce s Procházkou.
V 70. tých docházà k menÅ¡Ãmu odmlÄenÃ, až na pÅ™elomu 70. – 80. let filmem LÃSKY MEZI KAPKAMI DEÅ TÄš (1979), s bravurnÃm hereckým výkonem VladimÃra MenÅ¡Ãka v roli postupnÄ› krachujÃcÃho žižkovského živnostnÃka, navazuje na svou pÅ™edchozà tvorbu. Následujà filmy s doktorskou tématikou: POZOR VIZITA (1981) a SESTŘIÄŒKY (1983), kde v hlavnà roli vynikla Kachyňova budoucà žena Alena Mihulová, Äi tragikomedie FANDY, Ó FANDY (1982). Zároveň také od sklonku 70.tých let pracuje pro televizi, vzniká napÅ™. televiznà interpretace povÃdky Oty Pavla ZLATà ÚHOŘI (1979). Od stejného autora pozdÄ›ji uvádà do filmové podoby i povÃdku SMRT KRÃSNÃCH SRNCÅ® (1986), do televiznà tvorby se dále Å™adÃ: POÄŒÃTÃNà OVEÄŒEK (1981), DUHOVà KULIÄŒKA (1986) nebo jeden z nejpozoruhodnÄ›jÅ¡Ãch Äeských seriálů VLAK DÄšTSTVà A NADÄšJE (1985).
Poslednà filmové úspÄ›chy Karla Kachyňi jsou rovněž spjaté s televiznà obrazovkou KOŽENÉ SLUNCE (2002), OTEC NEZNÃMà (2001). NÄ›které jeho původnÄ› televiznà projekty skonÄily i na plátnech kin – MÄšSTEM CHODà MIKLUÃÅ (1992), KRÃVA (1994), kterou redaktor New York Post Larry Worth charakterizoval, jako kdyby Ingmar Bergman natoÄil Forresta Gumpa, FANNY (1995), HANELE (1999). Nedlouho pÅ™ed smrtà dokonÄuje svůj poslednà televiznà film vyprávÄ›jÃcà pÅ™ÃbÄ›h dvou pasažérů parnÃho válce CESTA BYLA SUCHà MÃSTY MOKRà (2003). Usiloval jeÅ¡tÄ› o práva na natoÄenà filmu podle knihy Bohumila Hrabala Obsluhoval jsem anglického krále, o se ve stejné dobÄ› ucházel Jiřà Menzel, jenž film v roce 2006 natoÄil.
