First published in 1975, this book examines the career of one of
the leading post-war Czech filmmakers Milos Forman through his own
testimony. After recollecting his childhood and early artistic
ventures, Forman gives accounts of the making of his major films,
interspersed with contemporaneous reviews by the author, and in the
final chapter he sums up his 'lessons along the way'. A section
entitled 'Stories behind the Stories' fills in details on the
events and people mentioned in Forman's narrative. The author's
commentary provides valuable insights not only into the aesthetics
of filmmaking but also the social and political environment in
contemporary Czechoslovakia.
First published in 1974, this book collects interviews with leading
Czechslovak filmmakers conducted mostly between 1967 and 1969. This
was a period of immense upheaval beginning with the attack of the
Czechoslovak establishment on the Union of Writers in 1967,
continuing through the liberalisation of the Prague Spring in
January 1968 and ended with the Soviet invasion in August and
subsequent 'Normalization' process in April 1969. It records the
testimony of several generations of filmmakers and their attempts
to answer the questions about the purpose and meaning of film
before and during this period. This book will be of interest to
students of film and cultural history.
