ABOUT THE FILM:
When the great Milos Forman died in 2018, he left behind a unique legacy that includes being a pioneer of the Czech New Wave and the daring Oscar®-winning director of ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST and AMADEUS. This eye-opening portrait offers an intimate look at one of Hollywood’s most important filmmakers.

-----
Very few film directors have been able to pull off what Miloš Forman was able to achieve over his decades-long career: create a body of work that consistently jolted Hollywood out of its narrative complacency and that would receive both global critical and popular acclaim. Awarded the Best Director Oscar® twice — for ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST in 1975 and AMADEUS in 1984 — Forman managed to infuse his films with a unique blend of social realism, fantastical satire, finely etched characters, and veiled social and political criticism that channeled his formative experiences living under the Stalinist Czechoslovakian regime.

Recognizing his status as one of Hollywood’s most important émigré directors, this documentary offers a highly satiating taste of Forman’s pioneering work, including his early films, which placed him firmly in the 1960s Czech New Wave.
