Milos Forman


         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.
