Directed by : Miloš FORMAN
Year of production : 1965 Country : CZECH REPUBLIC Length : 81 minutes
The seemingly banal plot of Milos Forman‘s second feature revolves around a young factory apprentice living in a boarding house, who is seduced by a Prague pianist at a small-town dance. The story of Andula – perhaps the only female protagonist in all of Forman's filmography – which was written by Forman together with his trusted collaborators Ivan Passer and Jaroslav Papoušek, is anchored in the tragicomic backdrop of Czechoslovak socialism in the 1960s. Loves of a Blonde is a testament to Forman‘s mastery of directing both trained actors and non-actors alike: with natural ease he places them in brilliantly staged and perfectly authentic situations. Loves of a Blonde had its world premiere in 1965 in the main competition at the Venice Film Festival and it was later nominated for an Oscar.
