Milos Forman was born Jan Tomas Forman in Caslav,
Czechoslovakia on February 18, 1932. His parents died in the Nazi concentration
camp of Auschwtiz leaving him orphaned at a young age. He studied screenwriting
at FAMU and is a foreign director that has gained major success in the US. His
film adaptation of One Flew Over the
Cuckoo’s Nest was the second film to win all four major categories at the
Academy Awards. He is definitely one of the most popular and well-known Czech
directors. During this semester, I’m watching his two of his films: Loves of a Blonde and Firemen’s Ball. Both of which are
satires.
