FIREMEN'S BALL (FULL SCREEN) [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 1967
• Genre: Comedy
• Plot: A milestone of the Czech New Wave, Milos Forman's first color film The Firemen's Ball (Horí, má panenko) is both a dazzling comedy and a provocative political satire. A hilarious saga of good intentions confounded, the story chronicles a firemen's ball where nothing goes right—from a beauty pageant whose reluctant participants embarrass the organizers to a lottery from which nearly all the prizes are pilfered. Presumed to be a commentary on the floundering Czech leadership, the film was 'banned forever' in Czechoslovakia following the Russian invasion and prompted Forman's move to America.
