The eighth part of the EU Film Festival / Too cute, although it is a satire of the political system at that time, maybe the lack of understanding of the relevant knowledge makes me unable to fully understand what the film wants to express, but aside from the irony, the ridiculousness shown in the film is ridiculous. The black humor really makes me laugh. A dance saw all beings, a lecherous old man in a beauty pageant, a raffle prize was stolen, a fire extinguished the fire to keep the old man...

[Poly EU Film Festival] A downright absurd farce. What was supposed to be a grand-sounding dance, beauty pageant, lottery, firefighting, fundraising, and commendation all ended in ironic failure. Human nature's greed, ignorance, lustful and wicked nature, and a strong bureaucratic style are all in sight. Those who do good will have no good results, and those who do evil will only survive. Surprised that in the era of socialist Czechoslovakia, there is still such a "non-positive and...

These ex-communist countries in Eastern Europe believe in two kinds of doctrines. Under the pressure of the Soviet Union, there are often interesting and whimsical artists and literary works appearing, all in capital letters! Their humor, innocence, and spirit of free revelry are really...

Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film & Palme d'Or Nominated. Satire Corruption of Power through Fireman's Ball Indoor Play (Beauty Pageant Farce - Femininity; Missing Gift - Loose Regulations; Chairman - Snobby; Social Cohesion Speech; Sweeping the Crowd , terrifying and pathetic indifference and innocence) the last scene with the fireman and the old man sleeping together is...

In such a short period of time, the characters are played round and round, making the audience so amused that they can't even read it. Foreman's last work before moving to the United States is hilarious and tragic. Every laugh is built on witty sarcasm, and every laugh from the audience is accompanied by a sting. Human nature can never allow integrity to exist beyond...

It seems that they are all non-professional actors. It is really not easy to schedule like this. They avoid many places where acting skills are tested and use editing and crowd tactics to create impact. However, compared to Buñuel and Altman, the irony is still a bit straightforward. For example, can a Czech firefighter only be over 50 years old... Forman may be directly caused by his background. The film ideas are all a little bit of...
