DESCRIPTION
The legendary tragicomedy “Hoří, má panenko” (“Firemen’s Ball”), with which the then 35-year-old Miloš Forman brought the Czech part of his career to a close in 1967, ranks among the most exquisite pieces in the family silver of Czech cinematography. The unforgiving portrayal of a rural firemen’s ball is today regarded as a masterpiece of the Czechoslovak New Wave. At the time, however, it was rejected both by the state film industry and (unexpectedly) foreign co-producer Carlo Ponti.
AWARDS
1968 Academy Award (Oscar) – Best Foreign Language Film Nomination DIRECTOR
Miloš Forman (1932-2018) was graduated from the Prague Academy of Performing Arts. He was the master of the Czechoslovak New Wave. Two of his films: “The Loves of a Blonde” and “The Firemen's Ball”, were nominated for a Best Foreign Language Oscar. He was living in exile in the United States since 1968, where he was considered a penetrating, ironic commentator on American society and has produced a number of well-known films, including “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest”, which won five Oscars, as well as “Hair” and “Amadeus”.FILMOGRAPHY
