Six
films including two Oscar winners by Milos Forman will be screened at the 23rd
International Film Festival of Kerala under the ‘Remembering the Master’
package.
Forman,
the Czech-American filmmaker whose films challenged the norms of Hollywood, was
iconic in establishing the Czechoslovakian New Wave.
His
films were screened in festivals around the globe and won prominent awards like
the Academy Awards, BAFTA, and Golden Globes.
Forman's
films that undermined authority with a satirical bent and political stance were
the least welcomed in his homeland.
‘One
Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ is a comedy drama directed by Forman which
portrays the story of a rebel criminal who pleads insanity to avoid
punishment. ‘Amadeus’, a period drama, of 1984 is a fictionalized
biography of renowned composer of the classical era, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Both
fetched him the Oscar for Best Director.
The
other Forman films included in the category are ‘Black Peter’, ‘The Firemen’s
Ball’, ‘Audition’, and ‘Loves of a Blonde’.
