One of the hallmarks of the Czech New Wave, Milos Forman's anarchic and freewheeling black comedy is a wry and devastating parable about Stalinist authoritarianism. The inventive story concerns the rituals surrounding a small town's celebration of a retiring fire chief and a bizarre beauty pageant. A trenchant commentary about the social and political order. Screenplay by Ivan Passer and Jaroslav Papousek. Cinematography by Miroslav Ondricek. Forman's last Czech film. Czech with English subtitles. Criterion Collection edition. Includes interview with Milos Forman, a behind-the-scenes look at the transfer process, and new and improved subtitle translation. Milos Forman Czechoslovakia 1967 73 mins.
