#145 - The Fireman's Ball

 


Man...I watched this 4 days ago - (watched is a strong word - it barely held my interest) - and I realized when looking for what's next I hadn't written the entry.

Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I had understood it's partially a thinly veiled satire at Czech Communist Leadership and it was banned after the Russian Invasion.

As it was it was a slightly humorous farce but nothing that could really entertain me in any real degree - of course Milos Forman would go to America and do lots of other great stuff and win lots of awards - this was his last film in his native country.

Wasn't a good one for me - not terribly enjoyable - DVD is out of print in Criterion but it's on the channel
