ABOUT THE FILM: In Czech with English subtitles. A milestone of the Czech New Wave, Milos Forman’s first color film THE FIREMEN’S BALL 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. FORMAT: 35mm DISTRIBUTOR: Janus Films COUNTRY: Czechoslovakia
