Overview

In this 2007 interview two-time Academy Award winner for Best Director, Milos Forman talks at length about his days as a film student in then communist Czechoslovakia, how film festivals and the international success of "Loves of a Blonde" (1965) enabled him to travel abroad, why his last Czech film was "The Fireman's Ball" (1967), coming to America to make "Taking Off" (1971) and why that was a total flop, the extraordinary chain of events that brought him to "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest" (1975), making "Hair" (1979), "Ragtime" (1981) and getting James Cagney out of retirement, casting F Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce in "Amadeus" (1985) and Woody Harrelson and Courtney Love in "The People vs. Larry Flynt" (1996), arguing with authors and directing actors, to his last film "Goya's Ghost" (2006) and why Napoleon's invasion of 19th Century Spain should have been a cautionary tale for more recent military adventures. A masterclass from a master filmmaker.
