Loves of a Blonde (Milos Forman / Czechoslovakia, 1965): (L A tender and humorous look at a young woman's journey from the first pangs of romance to its inevitable disappointments, About the movie. With “Loves of a Blonde” Milos Forman shifted from the spontaneous expression of “Black Peter” to a particularly riveting story set in both a small town and the city of Prague. However, a large group of married middle- aged reservists are sent to Zruc- upon- Sazava by mistake. The reservists clumsily try to court the girls at a dance organized to introduce the two groups.

The old man wants to sleep; the son would like to get thrown out so he can join the girl on the couch, but the mother runs the show and won’t tolerate any such filthy ideas under her roof.“ This scene is one of the most sensitive and bitterest examples of Czech narrow- mindedness. Forman puts his token emphasis on large scenes that feature mass groups of people by placing the camera in the position of a casual observer to capture a prevailing atmosphere. More than two and a half million filmgoers made “Loves of a Blonde“ the most popular film in Czechoslovakia. In 2. 01. 0 the movie was ranked #8. Empire magazine.

Milada Jezkova, a turner who Jaroslav Papousek and Ivan Passer found on the tram, where she sharply commented on something, played his film wife. They found two of the most talented non- actors of their generation not only for their own movies but also for all of the Czech film industry. Forman combines professional actors with non- actors. He cast the famous Czech actor Vladimir Mensik in the role of a reservist. In one scene at the dance Mensik was to lead two non- actors Ivan Kheil and Jiri Hruby in the scene at the dance. His acting talent showed when he managed to lead both the actors, beat time and blend in. The movie was partially filmed in Zruc- upon- Sazava where there was a big shoe- factory that had an all- girls boarding school.

Milos Forman about the movie“I wasn’t married for the second time yet at that time, so I often walked aimlessly from one friend to another, from one pub to another. One day after midnight I went home to Vsehrdova Street by car and suddenly I saw a girl with a suitcase crossing the bridge. I got to know that she had come to see a boy, whom she. She told me about the situation in Varnsdorf, which was then in the movies. Big textile factories, depopulated areas after the resettlement of Germans, many more girls outnumbered the boys. Zruc- upon- Sazava was the same; only the factory was new for that Czech region.”“I cast Jana’s sister, not to take revenge on my first wife (Czech movie star of the sixties, Jana Brejchova, editor’s note), as whispering tongues claimed, but primarily because I had known her very well and for a very long time, and I knew that she was talented. Jana was always closer to the intellectual world. Hana was more common and uncomplicated, maybe because she wasn’t so noticeably pretty. She had an amazing ability of free expression, but with the risk that she didn’t recognize the extent. However, Vlada Pucholt held her firmly in the rhythm of the scene, in a professional position.”“I never considered anyone but Vladimir Pucholt for our piano player. Forman?” he asked me after every perfect shot. It takes a great actor to blend into a scene with people who are being themselves. And that’s what Vladimir Mensik was.”“I remember those few months in Zruc- upon- Sazava as some of my sunniest days in the movie business. The award from the first communist president of the land and a legendary boozer was more of an embarrassment than anything else. The only good thing about it was the fat envelope that came with the ribbon. It contained 2. 0 0. CZK (8. 00 EUR), nearly a year’s salary, and it went a little way to make up for the contempt that Ivan (Milos Forman’s close associate, scriptwriter and film director Ivan Passer, editor’s note) exhibited for all laureates who won this award.” Locations.
