Loves of a Blonde
Sep 23 - Sep 24, 2008
(Miloš Forman, Czechoslovakia, 1965, 35mm, 88 min)
New 35mm print!
Forman’s breakthrough film, a commentary on the perils of totalitarianism, follows the everyday life and sexual fumbles of a naive teenage girl in a dreary town. A cornerstone of the Czech New Wave, the film grapples with the realities of injustice and disillusionment, yet its international popularity was due in part to the optimism and tenderness of its outlook.
